Toilet Flange Not Level With Floor

Place the carpenters level across the toilet bowl side to side and note where the bubble level is.

Toilet flange not level with floor. It will just touch at best. Btw this is a kohler cimarron so not a cheap toilet. This is the same distance between the floor and flange so it will never seal properly. When you install your toilet flange it should be installed on top of the finished floor and it should also be installed perfectly level.

I m using the oately xl ring. Take for instance tiling a new bathroom floor that ended up raising floor height way above the toilet flange. It has to sit evenly on top of the finished floor. Hammer a shim gently between the floor and the toilet base to bring a low side up.

The reason being is because the toilet recesses into the flange when. This is very important. The problem is when the ring is placed on the toilet it only extends 1 4 beyond the base of the toilet.
