I had a home built about 3 years ago and in the basement we had plumbing roughed in for a bathroom. I just got around to finishing the bathroom and I found that the 4" waste line for the toilet is not straight up and down. It has a forward tilt of about 5deg to it and it's in a poured concrete floor. I talked to the builder, and they say itll be fine because the wax ring will account for the flange that will inevitably not sit flat on the floor.
Can a wax ring really account for a tilted flange? Id like the pipe fixed, but I dont know that I'll be able to get them to break the floor out to fix it. Any sort of code requirements I can hold against them? It was a fairly large and reputable plumbing company that did the rough-in.
