When replacing my old toilet with a low-flow, I found the flange was set below the floor level.

Hudson Designs on Aug 18, 2011Hi Scott, Yes it is a concern, but you can buy a ring extender and fix it easily. Buy a flange extender. These help when the toilet flange is to low. This happens a lot in low end remodel jobs. Tile / Handymen cut this corner to save a little time and cost, I have seen many tile jobs with low flanges in the floor. The cost is low to do it right, and a good spacer and the time & costs is more to replace it. Go figure????? Remove the toilet and add one of these.Helpful Reply

Derrick Gray on Aug 20, 2011Double the wax ring. Use one with an extender (as Hudson Design suggested) and a regular wax ring on top of the extender ring. But before you install the new rings, get a tube of waterproof caulk and caulk around the floor flange and fill the space making it smooth let it dry ...then proceed with the wax rings. Good luckHelpful Reply
