I found a leak in my upstairs bathroom that was coming down to my main floor and found it was coming from my toilet when I flushed. I pulled the toilet up and removed the wax ring. The stainless steel flange, however, was bent where the closet bolts connect to it. The flange itself is also 3/8 inch below the finished floor and I understand it's supposed to be flush with the floor to 1/2 inch above it.
Can I just put a tall wax ring on top of the flange despite the fact that it is bent? I'm assuming the answer to this is a resounding no.
Can I just cut out the steel part that is bent and put a replacement ring or do I need to replace the entire flange? I should use an extension kit to raise the height of the flange, right?
Thanks.
