194: Toilets, Rotted Drywall, and Plumbing Tips...HOLY SMOKE

Closet flanges are super important…they prevent your toilet bowl from leaking. Today we talk about the options you have, an interesting predicament, and a little waterproofing experiment I’m doing.   Drywall sometimes gets wet and ruined if it’s next to the tub or shower. What can you do?   I’m conducting a little experiment with KERDI-BAND to waterproof the drywall. I also consulted Schluter, the maker of KERDI-BAND, to get their feedback on this project. So I’ll be sharing the results with you.   One of our fans has a predicament: he needs a corner toilet with a 14 inch rough-in.   If you have a solution please send me an email at [email protected]   There are several types of closet flanges. I personally like PVC or ABS closet flanges because they don’t rust out.   Check out Oatey to see all the different types of closet flanges http://www.oatey.com/   Many thanks to Johns Manville for sponsoring today’s show.
