Hi this is my first post after finding useful answers on this forum from google searches for years.
I was putting in a new toilet and discovered the previous owner had the old toilet attached to a plastic flange that was not attached to a very rusted out cast iron toilet flange. This was beyond my scope so I had a plumber come out. They tried to fit an adapter inside the pipe but it was too big. They said the only way was to jack hammer it up and put new ABS plumbing in.
I had them do that. At the end they said they could pour concrete or I'd save $100 if I did it myself, so I said sure I'll save the money. Now I'm looking at this thing, and red toilet flange is held captive by the black part. I am not sure how I am going to pour concrete underneath the red part so that it can still spin and the closet bolts will fit in there.
Any help appreciated. Thanks.
