Cast Iron Toilet Flange Problems
Hi, I have read forums on having the cast iron toilet flange being too high after tile removal. I have some additional questions on this:
1. After removing the Thick set Mortar, the flange is 1 " above the subfloor. Can I just add different types of underlayment to reach the flange (i.e. 5/8 inch plywood and than 1/4 inch cement board)? And than put new tile down.
2. How do you tell if a cast iron flange is worn out? (Note: ours is not level right now).
3. Is it better to just have a plumber come out and replace the flange versus doing #1?
4. Also, I have seen comments both ways: Do you put the flange of top of the new tile or do you attached it directly to the subfloor or the underlayment on top of the subfloor?
Thanks,
Tom
