3. Inspect the flange and replace if damaged.
4. Install a new wax ring properly to create a watertight seal.
5. Secure the toilet to the floor evenly to prevent rocking.
6. Connect the water supply line and check for leaks.

Hydro jetting should be performed every 1-2 years to prevent future clogs in your plumbing system.

To ensure that your kitchen plumbing is properly insulated to prevent freezing during cold weather, you can:

1. Insulate exposed pipes with foam pipe insulation.
2. Seal any gaps or cracks near pipes to prevent cold air from reaching them.
3. Keep cabinet doors open to allow warm air to circulate around pipes.
4. Use heat tape or heating cables on pipes in extremely cold areas.
5. Maintain a consistent temperature in your home, especially during cold spells.
