Getting ready to do a levelling pour on bathroom floor but need to decide what to do with the flange first. The floor shouldn't be raised up here by the pour, as it the high spot, but if I should fix the flange I want to do it prior to leveling. As you can see in the images they put it flush to the concrete.
Obviously this can (and has) worked with 1/2"-3/4" flooring, via flange extender and Fernco wax-free seal, but it is not obviously not desirable or correct to have not be flush with the finished floor (or on top of it). It appears to be the external fit to the 3" pipe which seems to make removal extra difficult as I'd have to be able to get to the outside to cut it off.
Looking for suggestions as to whether to leave it or not, and if not, how best to approach the difficulty of removing it to add a new one (that can go up an inch)?
