I have a toilet in the basement that's been leaking (odor, water) over the past 14 years despite multiple wax ring changes. Now after replacing a toilet upstairs with the a Toto I know realize the basement flange sits about 3/8" to 1/2" above the floor. I assume this has been the problem all along.
HOWEVER, I have no idea how to fix a flange that is cemented (floor) and glued (into pvc pipe). The basement bathroom floor is vinyl on top of concrete.
Should I:
a) have a plumber chisel out the flange out of the basement floor and install a new one?
b) use a piece of plywood to cut in shape of the toilet base to raise the floor underneath the toilet
c) install a ceramic toilet floor to raise the bathroom floor to the height of the flange
d) use some type of commercial product???
ANy suggestions would be most welcome!!!
