Hello all,
I have bought a house where the toilet drain pipe in the unfinished basement is below the concrete level. You can tell that there was a flange there at some time but it looks like it was cut off (and not very cleanly) at some point.
I assume I will have to chip away the concrete to get access to the pipe but I am not sure if they make flanges that are long enough to attach around the pipe without recessing the flange into the concrete or without using a connector to elongate the pipe back to the concrete level. Obviously, I would like to chip away the minimum concrete possible.
Details:
pipe = pvc
id = 3"
depth of pipe below concrete = 1.5"
I hear of "deap throat flanges" but can't seem to find anything online.
Thanks in advance for expert advice
