Hello everyone. Here is what's going on. I have virtually no plumbing experience, but with my google fu being strong, I have conquered many home improvement projects. Anyway, I had my bathroom remodeled back in 2006. The contractor grouted around the base of the toilet instead of using caulk. Recently I noticed that the grout started to crack. The bolts were a little loose and the toilet wobbled a little from side to side. I pulled up the toilet to chip away the grout before I caulked the base and while doing so, i noticed it was damp on the sides of the toilet flange. I also noticed that the flange was not level with the floor. The front of the flange is level with the floor but the rear sits maybe a 1/2 inch lower than floor level. I'm going to get a new wax ring with the plastic piece installed already, I was just curious if I should use a toilet flange extension before setting down the new wax ring. If I do, the rear will probably be even with the floor but the front will definitely sit above the floor. Just wondering what the professionals think I should do. Thank you!
