Hello,
I have a house that was built in 1991 and has a downstairs toilet that was installed with an offset flange. I'm no plumber or expert, but I'll try to explain as best I can.
The base is made of concrete. The offset pipe is made of PVC, but the ring is made of metal. The ring is not broken but it is very rusty. I've tried replacing the wax ring to keep it from leaking but that didn't work, so I'm thinking I need to replace the flange.
From what I can tell, that flange goes deep at least 4 inches, so to remove it I'm afraid I'll have to chip concrete (which I'm trying to avoid).
Are there any other options on how to fix this mess?
