Don't laugh- my husband won't ask for help. In our basement bathroom, we are in the process of replacing the toilet, and when we removed the old broken flange, we discovered that it wasn't attached to the floor- explained the toilet moving- it was only tightened inside the drain pipe with toggle bolts. The other 2 toilets in our house have flanges attached to floor. Anyways, we would drill through the ceramic tile and cement and attach the flange, but for a few inches around the drain pipe, there is only dirt- no cement. So, no matter which holes in the flange we would drill through, there would be nothing to attach to.
We tried bonding the flange to the floor with several kinds of adhesive, but they always end up coming loose when bolting the toilet down. We can try to just attach the flange to the pipe with the bolts and gasket again, but we will still have a toilet that moves when you sit on it. Any ideas?? denise
