My husband is putting in a new toilet himself is this dangerous?

Is it ok that he is doing this himself or should we call a plumber? I was just reading about possible sewer gases leaking out when you remove the old toilet, how dangerous is that? When the new toilet is in place is everything safe again? Would it smell really bad if something dangerous was leaking? Im 8 months pregnant and we have 2 year old so I just want to make sure this is safe as it's 8 o'clock and close to bed time and the hubby is still working on it I don't want to be scared to go to sleep. Thanks!My husband is putting in a new toilet himself is this dangerous?
Other than possibly pulling a muscle lifting the toilet, it's not dangerous. I have replaced a couple of toilets myself. Sewer gasses are just smelly. I stuff an old rag in the top of the drain to block the odor and so that nothing drops down inside.





When the new toilet is in place and it is flushed, water will fill the bowl and the u-bend, which prevents the sewer gases from entering your home.My husband is putting in a new toilet himself is this dangerous?
Hah, a toilet is a rather simple devise that can be installed in about 15 minutes. While the sewer gas may stink, a brief 15-minute whiff isn't going to do any damage. When the toilet is in place, as long as there is no water leaking from underneath it, you are good to go. The water in the bowl acts as a trap and will keep sewer gas from escaping into the room.





It is almost impossible to mess this one up, but if you do, you will know right away when you see the leaks. Common problem: tightening the nuts too tight and cracking the tank or base of the bowl.
make sure you use a new wax seal under the toilet base .
it's a simple job , let the man work in privacy
