    Lopsided toilet flange
    My toilet flange is lopsided. I have tried different thickness wax rings, but it still leaks on one side. How can level the flange?

    What type of flange do you have? Cast iron or plastic? Is it on a cement slab that's uneven? Let me know. Tom

    My flange is cast iron and I believe it is connected to the Tee with melted lead.

    You just made it easier to level the flange.A poured joint's much easier to level then a cemented PVC one. Now tell me what makes it cocked? Uneven floor? Cocked closet bend? What? Cheers, Tom
