I had to take the old toilet out. It wouldn't flush. It flushed fine if I poured water in the bowl. I am attaching a picture. This is a three inch pipe. It immediately sweeps to the left at about 10 or 11 oclock. around and above it as you can see there isn't anything. Questions:
How should I plumb this? Just put a three inch pipe and flange.
Should I fill in around with an epoxy cement or something to level it? I don't know how I can anchor the toilet with that open area.

You said the toilet flushed fine when you poured water in the bowl. That indicates that the plumbing is OK and the problem is with the toilet.
You need to somehow install a toilet flange. It's quite dirty so it's hard to see exactly what you've got in the photo so I can't say exactly how to do that. It looks like you've got at least two layers of flooring. You might be able to use a toilet repair flange.
Late Yesterday my pressure regulator from the incoming water line went. This caused the relief valve on my hot water heater to discharge water. The pressure regulator was replaced. Today I am still seeing that the cement in some spots under the water heater and slightly around the water heater are still wet. I had a fan and dehumidifier which dried everything up except this. When should the water dissipate from this area? I feel the coverage of the ground from the water heater is causing it not to dry out. My other thought is my water heater also went with this event but I have no puddles.

in anticipation of a heavy rain I went to clean out the filter and surrounding area of dirt so that things would flow faster and not encounter a backup.
when I opened the cover, I noticed a piece of hollow black tubing poking out of the water. I don't recall seeing it there before but it's kind of hard too see so it's quite possible I missed it.
Is it possible someone put it in there because I don't see how it could get in on it's own. or is it supposed to be there?
