New to the forums. I, well we, decided to redo our bathroom. We are in the demo stage when we ran across this problem. There was a rusted out metal toilet flange so I knew I needed to replace it. It was leaded in, so I removed it. Now the problem is that it is an elbow. I was going to get an expandable flange and insert it, but it seems to be too close to the bend to have any depth. There is also a 'bump' on the inside so the new flange might not go over. The top of the pipe is about an 1 1/4 above the floor already if you add the thickness of the new flange it will be to high. Am I out of luck and need to have a plumber relead a new flange? Thanks
