    Raise toilet flange approx 9"
    We're putting a raised floor over a concrete slab to bring the powder room up to the height of the main house. What do we need to do to raise the toilet drain so it is at the height of the new floor. Thanks! Linda

    Hi Linda,
    Before we can answer we need more information. What material are the present drainage pipes? Cast iron or Plastic? You will have to take out the flange and extend the raiser up. If plastic you can use a coupling and glue it in. If cast iron you'll have to use a shielded metal band. More questions? I'm as close as a clock. Good luck, Tom
