It may also be that the flange (the metal or plastic part on which the toilet bowl sits) is cracked or corroded, allowing water beneath your toilet. Another possibility is that the wax ring, the soft washer that closes off the bottom of your toilet and provides sealing for the drainpipe, has failed. When the toilet is flushed, the water rises above the level of the ring and leaks around the base of the pipe.\r\rIf you suspect a leak at or near your toilet's flange, or your water flow is extremely low, turn off the supply and remove the toilet tank lid (either from under your sink or behind your toilet) to expose the valve assembly. If you see signs that liquid has seeped beneath your toilet, replace any worn washers or deteriorated flanges before reassembling things -- and call in a plumber if you're not sure what to do.\r\rAnother toilet leaking issue can be due to tee bolts (t bolts), issue at the base of your toilet (base of the toilet do have unnoticeable toilet leaks), problem in the water supply line or water supply tube, the issue with the bolts (tee bolts and others), and more.

Keep a garbage bag, paper towels and terry cloth (microfibre towels) handy. Have putty knife, tee bolts, and other common toilet parts ready. \r\rDisconnect the water supply. Empty the toilet tank. Remember this'll be a plumbing repairs fixture job.\r\rIf your water bills are high, perhaps more than having regular long showers, the problem can be with the tee bolts causing leaking toilet. Depending upon where the leak is coming from, there are various ways to fix a toilet and stop the leak. If you have running water in your bowl and it runs constantly, or if your toilet overflows after each flush, you will need to replace those parts of your toilet.\r\rIf the leak is coming from beneath the toilet tank or near your toilet base, and water is leaking out on both sides of the base you probably have a ring issue. This can result when people try to \"fix\" their leaky toilets by themselves because they do not know how to replace a wax ring correctly. Wax rings may go bad over time and they can become damaged rather easily as well. \r\rTo ensure toilet leak at the base of your toilet is fixed, reconnect the water supply line and flush the toilet. When you flush the toilet, if there's no sign of water on the floor, then the base of the toilet is resolved. If not, then you'll need a plumber for sure. \r\rNext, check the tee bolts that fasten the toilet to the floor. If the bolts are causing problems, you'll notice water on the floor. The floor must be dry even after flushing. If not, then first dry the floor with the towel. Once the floor is dry and the bolts have been replaced, we need to check if the bolts are working fine. Ensure bolts are not damaged. Also ensure that bolts are not rusty.

It's generally low-maintenance and easy to clean.\r\rComposite decking boards are manufactured using a traditional pressure or high-pressure mould to form the individual pieces. They are typically not formed in long planks like traditional lumber; instead, they are formed into square or rectangular shapes with rounded corners for easier handling. Once they have been moulded together several boards will be placed side by side until enough length has been achieved to complete the installation. \r\rThe boards are then sheared down to the correct width and routed on the top and bottom for a smooth, splinter-free finish. The boards are then sanded along their length to remove any variations in colour from the manufacturing process. They are also sanded on their top and bottom faces to make them suitable for use as outdoor decking.\r\rThe first step is to measure off your deck area making sure that it is large enough to accommodate all of your furniture as well as leaving room to walk around comfortably. Once you have measured your wood decking boards, you can begin assembling them together side by side until they reach one full direction of your deck. You will need a power drill with screwdriver bits or a screw gun depending on whether you choose screws or nails to hold these pieces together.\r\rPrior to assembling the boards together, you will need to add a plastic or rubber sealant strip along the edge of each composite decking board so that it adheres properly and snugly with the next board in line. To install these pieces, just use your screwdriver bits and drill them into the ends of every other wood decking board while they lay side-by-side on top of one another. You should also apply caulking between every joint and into any exposed ends and cracks about an inch deep for maximum waterproofing capabilities.\r\rOnce you have done all this, you will then be able to stand back and admire your brand new deck area which is made from everything that would typically end up cluttering your local landfill.","bulletData":null,"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null},{"__typename":"SectionData","type":"Text","headingTag":"h2","heading":"Is composite decking better than wood?

They ‘repaired’ my bench top oven to the tune of $200, within 2 months it was broken again. When I took it back they said I would need to pay another service fee regardless of whether it was an issue with the part they’d repaired or not, because it was more than 30 days since it was repaired, despite the note left on the oven saying otherwise. So the warrantee for the repair is shorter than the shelf-life of the food I cook it it."}}}
