Toilet Won T Sit Flat On Floor

If the problem is tiles you could remove the tiles under the toilet.

Toilet won t sit flat on floor. Toilet base not completely flat with floor. But often in real life we don t want to do. Although installing a toilet is an easy project an uneven floor can complicate matters. Toilets usually rock because they are not resting flush against the floor.

I do light plumbing work and am installing a toilet for a customer. I talked to my brother i remember he said he had the same problem once he told me a plumber had to come out and bore out the pipe so the toilet would sit right. The toilet s base must sit perfectly flush with the floor not only to have a good seal for the wax ring. When i set new toilet there is a gap maybe 1 4 3 8 between toilet bottom and floor not sitting flush.

Ideally your supposed to remove the toilet to retile the floor then place the toilet on top of the new tile with it sitting flush on the floor. Getting a wobbly toilet to sit flat on the floor. If you have a wobbly toilet because there is something uneven on the floor the ideal solution is to find a way to level the floor. If it is wood you could shave it down to flat.

If your toilet is wobbly or loose but not leaking this quick fix might be just what you need. The two flange bolts secure the toilet but they do not prevent it from wobbling if it does not already sit perfectly flat on the floor. Sounds like the wrong flange was used or and improper intallation on the wax ring or wrong size wax ring.
