When I removed the toilet for my garden level bathroom remodel, I noticed that something wasn't right with the waste pipe, but I decided to wait until I was ready to install the new toilet to address it. Now I'm ready to address it, and I'm afraid I may have to reset some of my tile (no problem since I have plenty extra).
So here's my dilema: There appears to be not flange at all. I noticed the old toilet just had what appears to be a tapered rubber gasket and the bolts to hold the toilet down were put right into the concrete pour. (of course they broke off )
Anyway the tile I layed is 3/8" ceramic and I was hoping I could simply place a new flange into the waste pipe and then bolt the flange down to the concrete after spacing up with more tile close to the pipe.
I'm also a bit concerned about the condition of the waste pipe, it looks really rough. I'd like to address any issues now since I plan on owning this house for another 7-10 years and I don't like doing things twice.
Here are some pictures so you can see what I'm looking at.
So....what are my options here?
Thanks for any tips or advice
