I recently installed new tile and cement board on my bathroom floor. The toilet flange now sets level with the tile. Will this work or will I need to make an adjustment. Ive read the flange needs to be 1/2 inch above the tile. I'm worried about leaking. Thanks

If you flange is level with the tile floor you can set the commode on it and it will work just fine. If you are nbot satisfied with that you can always use a second bowl wax and tear pieces off it and mold onto the first bowl wax and make it about a quarter of an inch higher.

My toilet flange is setting about 1/4 inch above the subflooring. Meaning there is a gap between the botom of the flange and the sub flooring. 2 of the screws that hold the flange down are stripped so I don't think I could simple tighten it to the floor. Could I slide some pieces of tile or cement board under the flange to tighten the fit and support it. The fooring is completely installed already. Thanks for your help.

I echo Letmetellu advice. The flange is at optimal height. Use "skinny" was ring.


Sure, you can slide piece of ply or tile under and tighten it with new brass screws. Once you finish the floor the closet ring will be at just about the correct height.
