Why the Flange Matters in an Old Home
The flange is the ring that holds the toilet to the drain. In older Ravenswood homes, it's often cast iron or lead attached to the old pipe, and it can corrode or break. When that happens, the toilet rocks, the seal fails and water seeps into the floor, sometimes reaching the ceiling below. We repair or replace the flange before setting the toilet, so it stays tight.
What Affects the Price of Toilet Work
Small repairs are quick. Replacing a corroded flange takes longer. Carrying a new toilet up narrow stairs adds a little time. We check and quote a flat price.
