Sewage hole
I am replacing the toilet and tiling in my small basement bathroom.
Since I am doing tiling I will need to have the toilet off for several days. After I take the toilet off, do I need to plug the toilet hole in the floor so no sewage gases leak into my house? Please advise if necessary to cover the hole and what should I use? And if I have to cover the hole, how long can I keep it covered? |

For the few dollars I prefer the much better seal of one of the expanding rubber plugs. A rag will keep debris from falling down the hole, but does little to prevent gasses from escaping. |

stuff it with a rag, cover with a piece of plywood, anything will work.
And you can leave it that way forever if you please. s wrote in message ... I am replacing the toilet and tiling in my small basement bathroom.
