So they decided the way to fix it was to force a plastic one inside the cast iron pipe, cracking the plastic too. Then spray foam the big hole to secure the toilet. Here is the proper way to install a cast iron toilet flange. We also had to add 2×4’s below the floor and cut plywood to fill in the large hole they made so the new flange was secured. This is not a homeowner handyman job people, call a professional this could have caused a very unhealthy mold problem.
