Proper Flange Height & Wax Ring Compression

Medina, OH

At Beetles Plumbing Solutions, our own Luke recently came across a perfect example of why proper toilet installation matters. While inspecting a customer’s bathroom, he found that the toilet flange — the fitting that connects the toilet to the drainpipe — wasn’t set at the correct height. Because of that, the wax ring seal never compressed as it should. What’s the big deal? That wax ring is responsible for creating a watertight seal between your toilet and the floor. If it’s not compressed correctly, the toilet isn’t truly seated. This can lead to rocking, leaks, and even messy backups. In this case, there wasn’t a single dent in the original wax seal — proof that the toilet had never been installed properly from the start. Luke quickly diagnosed the problem and ensured the flange was adjusted to the proper height before reinstalling the toilet with a perfectly compressed wax ring. The result? A secure, stable toilet that’s leak-free and ready for years of use. If your toilet rocks, leaks, or backs up frequently, it could be more than just bad luck — it might be an installation issue.
