A flange that sits too low after a new floor needs an extender to seal properly. Here is the Irvine guide.
The problem
New tile or flooring raises the floor, leaving the flange below the surface and the wax ring unable to seal.
The extender
A flange extender raises the flange to the right height.
The install
The extender stacks on the existing flange with a new seal on top.
The call
A pro gets the height right. Call 888-217-3585 and Irvine Plumbing Helpers will match you with an Irvine plumber.
