I recently decided to replace our second-floor toilet, which is original to the 40-year-old house. When I took the toilet off, I noticed that the closet bolts wobbled, and that the closet flange was broken and decayed so badly that it could not be repaired. I chipped away at it, ultimately was able to remove the basly rusted screws that were holding it to the floor, and removed it.
Now, I have a pipe coming out of the floor with a pronounced lip on it around the edges. (It looks like it might be the inner-portion of the old flange, but I'm not sure.) The top of the lip is a half inch or more above the floor.
I'm not sure what to do from here. I am reading posts that say to be careful not to crack the pipe, and my local Home Depot did not seem to have anything that would fit in or around what remains.
Any advice is appreciated.
