A new wax ring was set, the flange kit was centered and new holes were drilled to secure it to the subfloor as well. Once secured I ran water from the fill valve to test for leaks. The toilet was then reset, supply line was connected and the unit was tested for proper operation. Client flushed it a couple of times until satisfied.

I arrived at the customer’s home and he had some issues with siphoning of his toilets and backing up. I did a camera inspection, but it was not super helpful due to the fact that the builder installed a cross tee so every time I would attempt to camera the line it would go into the other toilet. I was able to find a section of back falling cast-iron in the drain line is currently holding water. I gave the customer pricing to replace all the cast-iron, and other work he asked as a bundled discount. The estimates will be good for 30 days and the cost of $589 will be applied towards the peace of mind estimate for the next 30 days.
