I am installing new tile in my bathroom. This is over a concrete slab.
When I started to lay the final tiles around the toilet flange I noticed a crack around the inside of the flange.
I remember seeing a line at the same location when I started the project but now it is about a 1/16" crack halfway around the flange. Originally I did not have bolts holding the flange to the floor. I figured If the pipe is in cement and it wont move. But the tension on the toilet bolts probably stressed the flange and caused the crack.
When I installed this flange about 20 years ago, I busted out a 10-12" hole in the floor.
Is there an easier way to do this so I just bust the cement around the pipe and flange?
Thanks!
