So before the rotting floor was replaced in my bathroom, the toilet flange sat above the tile floor and I never had an issue that I remember.
When the new subfloor and tile was installed, the toilet flange was flush with the floor.
Twice now I have had to replace the wax ring due to my own doing.
This second time I was in a leg cast and bumped the toilet good and the toilet shifted.
Both times I thought I had tightened the bolts enough, but I guess not.
Should I use a double height wax ring this time?
Or should I get a flange ring to raise the height of the flange rubbing some wax between the ring and the flange?
I'm sure the difference in flange height has to be causing some issues.
I obviously don't want to overtighten the bolt and crack a very expensive toilet.
Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
As soon as I saw the toilet shift I was praying it wouldn't leak, but I see the grout around the toilet wet so I may have to replace it before me cast comes off.
Thanks again.
