Finally, a video that explains installing a subfloor without replacing the toilet flange.

[@ButerSammich02]

Thank you. Very helpful. The first video of someone keeping the old flange. This saved me a lot of money. I almost gave in and let roto router come out to cut my old cast iron flange. But thanks to this o can keep it and do the floor myself thanks again.

[@nikinthemidwest1915]

You sir, have explained this so well without wasting time on shenanigans and tomfoolery and I 100% appreciate it! Thank you!!!!

[@AveIvy]

You can't imagine the number of videos I had to watch until I FINALLY got yours!! You explained this so perfectly and it is exactly what I needed to understand how to remodel my bathroom floors. You saved me so much money. Thank you!!!!!

[@GetToThePointplz123]

Good luck

[@Eastbaypisces]

@@GetToThePointplz123 so i should put the blocking across like that too? im using 2x8s because previous floor was 2x8s

[@GetToThePointplz123]

@@Eastbaypisces not knowing exactly you're circumstances, I will say yes although 2x4 blocking is usually sufficient for support. Alot of people that aren't sure typically will over engineer which is perfectly fine also

[@boomcity4942]

Straight to the point. No annoying music of silly jokes. You nailed it. Thank you!

I’ve been searching for days trying to figure out how to replace the subfloor in my daughter’s 100 year old bathroom that has 15/16 plank. I couldn’t find any other reference to that size, your video showed me exactly what I need to do. Thank you!!

[@rogerbraswelljr.923]

Thx. Very helpful. I'm redoing my floor and toilet. I haven't done anything like this in 25 years. I'm pretty rusty. This is extremely helpful

[@austinmifsud2697]

Just what I needed to know. Thank you.

[@joesshop3622]

Fantastic job! You left out nothing and it was truly "to the point". May I add, you may prefer plywood vs oriented strand board (OSB) in the long run. Moisture is its mortal enemy. If it sweats, it can cause capillary action to wick it under the toilet if the bowl isn't sealed where it meets your flooring.

[@GetToThePointplz123]

Agreed ..unfortunately plywood doesn't hold up to water also

[@joesshop3622]

@@GetToThePointplz123 Plywood will take water for a mighty long time before it actually fails. OSB fails immediately leaving no chance to find the problem before its swollen/ruined.

[@loramcclamrock5549]

very helpful. Also would not use OSB in wet areas

[@Michael-xl2vf]

Good, solid video for working around flange.

[@HB-yq8gy]

I just finished doing the same thing we had to remove the rusted cast iron flange approx 14" to the stack 3" non hub with boot & PVC. I was debating what corrosive free screws to use the tapcons are for concrete. The 2" brass screws were hard to screws in only had flat head slot and the stainless steel screws were for sheet metal so I used 2" exterior Phillips screws.🤔

Excellent video! Thanks for your help man!

[@BlondieSL]

I have a repair in our basement and found that the entire floor is rotted out. Fortunately, below all that is the cement floor. So here's my question, which is due to watching several videos and of course, everyone has their own opinion on whether the flange top is level with the floor or slightly above. As I've never done a full replacement of a flange and floor, which is it? Flange level with top layer (meaning, the final tiles) or slightly above, like 1/8" or something??? Ideas? Fortunately, it looks like it's all PVC, not cast iron or metal of any kind.

[@GetToThePointplz123]

Flush or slightly above is ideal, slightly below will work also. There's a few products to make a flange too low work. The flange sitting on top of finished floor height will be fine also. Anything higher than finished floor will present some issues

[@BlondieSL]

@@GetToThePointplz123 Thanks. It sounds like I don't have to be "tooooo" exact. That's good, considering the mess I've encountered... sigh.

[@docrugs6463]

You are the man best way to explain it I could see it in my head what I needed to do, butt needed re ensured. Thanks!

[@1065Olivia]

Very helpful as we have two layers of subfloor here...

[@GetToThePointplz123]

Ya every scenario is different, sometimes 1 maybe 2..I've seen 3 so you gotta roll with it

[@long_wang]

For that old wood you removed at the start do you worry about disturbing all those old layers with the dust and asbestos? Simple respirator enough to cut through all that? Did you use a reciprocating saw or circular?

[@GetToThePointplz123]

Circular saw and jigsaw...dust mask or respirator works also

[@cbpangelinan]

Excellent video! Working on this currently

[@gurleyz]

Whats the typical cost of this? Thanks

[@GetToThePointplz123]

Guessing $200 DIY or $6-800 to hire someone

[@long_wang]

Great Video professional job there 👏

[@jessiewilder4921]

Thanks… What size is the “blocking” lumber? Are those 2x6?

[@GetToThePointplz123]

I used 2x4 here, if you have a larger span you could use 2x6

[@jessiewilder4921]

Thank you for your response. I’m heading to Lowe’s tomorrow for lumber and the 3/4 in plywood I need!

[@courtneyentsminger9529]

This was great thank you! I did have a question what if the flooring sets higher than the flange? How do I make sure there will not be a leak?

[@GetToThePointplz123]

If its not to low they make flange extensions

[@marcussheppard1668]

Want to do this at my house but don't know much about lumber. What type of lumber do you use for the blocking pieces? 2x4 or 2x6? Pressure treated?

[@GetToThePointplz123]

If it is not in direct contact with soil or concrete you can use white pine or yellow pine which is standard framing lumber available anywhere, doesn't need to be pressure treated

[@hosearobinson179]

Saround the toilet, i uae treated plywood not OSB.

[@jimgraham4355]

fixing our toilet, new construction, they dont care. poor design, no real support under the toilet. 24' on center joists, toilet obviously moved up and down, after 12 years sprung a leak. That was 3 years ago, just discovered it. you can imagine the sight. anyway going to have to cut way more floor than I wanted, but need to scab in support.

[@ericglover5341]

Shark bite? Why not do a propress or crimp pex?
