Again good one for DIY. Plumber will charge $150. Thanks buddy.

Thank goodness i found your channel! My late husband was a plumber, electrician, carpenter, mechanic, welder, etc. He fixed everything. But when my toilet started leaking, i decided i could find out how to fix it. Thats when i found your channel. Im disabled but my adult daughter and i watched your video on how to fix a leaky toilet. Daughter got it done in no time. You explained each step to take. Clear and precise. We cannot thank you enough sir. We're loyal followers of yours now. Thanks again! 😊

I love how at 5:51 he says " make sure you just hand tighten it. be very very careful, porcelain is very fragile" as he is tightening it down with a half inch socket wrench.

This is a good video presentation about how to deal with a common toilet leak. If you are ever planning on installing a new toilet or you need to otherwise replace a toilet, consider buying a toilet version that is one piece with the tank and bowl made as a single unit. These are available from American Standard and others. This type eliminates any chance of leaks between the tank and the bowl.

Awesome! Thank you for taking the time to share this DIY fix. It helped me fix my leak! My local plumbing companies quoted me a flat rate between $125-$150 I saved $134 after purchasing the kit and installing it myself. Once again thank you for sharing!

[phoenixlion]

I definitely admire the step by step process in this video presentation on how to fix just about any household problems like these. Thank you!

[vinor]

Thank you so much. You have shown a professional clean way of fastening the bolts/nuts to the tank!! Awesome.

[sandibennett]

Thank you for an incredibly helpful tutorial. I was able to replace all of the nuts, bolts, gaskets and wax ring on my own.. first time ever! Saved me from using a plumber. Saved me a lot money, but mostly very satisfied knowing I was able to do without paying someone to do. Thank you!

Excellent, DIY, this clip just gave me a clearer picture of what to do with a nasty water leak that I just discovered below our toilet tank!
Thank You ! God bless.

[eddierobles]

Thank you so much for this video . Just followed your steps and it worked. No more leaks. 👏👏🙏

[KatieeJ]

THANK YOU!!! The step at 5:51 is what I was missing as what I had taken off didn't have the washer/nut placed there. Couldn't figure out why there was still a leak after following the instructions from the company I purchased it from. I appreciate this video.

[LoveandData]

I ended up replacing the big gasket, long screws, etc. You explained and showed everything so it was super simple for a novice (ME) to follow. Thank you so much!

[SilatShooter]

Thank you! Followed this and fixed it myself. Longest and hardest part was cleaning the tank and holes around the base. The rest was pretty straight forward. Saved me a nice chunk of $$$. Plumbers in my area don't come out for less than $200. Greatly appreciate the step by step and options.

[mattski]

I don't wanna seem, you know, pushy, but you have a drastically relaxing voice. You should definitely make more videos. It's just plain old fashioned calm as hell and that's important to me for some bizarre reason. Thank you for this video. You're awesome.

[WALTERBROADDUS]

Thanks for the tip.... Will try this weekend.

[skeeterburke]

I use a turkey baster for most stuff, makes a decent cheap syringe. It's not airtight but if you can transfer the liquid fast enough, it works great

[josephkendall]

Excellent video! Clear explanation. Very helpful

[OUrNit]

Man you are God sent! Simple video straight to the point. Exactly my current issue, thanks my brotha

[NICKty]

Thank you so much for this video I had this same problem today. I did what you said in the video and got the new rubber from home depot and put it on and no leaks. Thank you for this you are a blessing. God bless you and your family 🙏👍💪

[verleneperry-newburn]

Thank you for this video, clear, short and very helpful.
