How to level floor around toilet.

I had thought of using floor leveler but i now don t think that will work. Installing a new toilet or resetting an old one is often necessary when remodeling a bathroom. It seems like floor leveler would just run down the opening for the toilet drain pipe. Push the toilet carefully to the side so it is level.

Sit on the toilet to press the toilet firmly into the wax ring keeping the toilet level. Use a caulk gun to squeeze a bead of caulk around the base of the toilet where it meets the floor. Although installing a toilet is an easy project an uneven floor can complicate matters. Place a level on the back of the toilet.

Place the carpenters level across the toilet bowl side to side and note where the bubble level is. Hammer a shim gently between the floor and the toilet base to bring a low side up. If adding washers or shims fixed the problem the only thing left to do is to caulk the toilet the the floor. Caulk the toilet to the floor if the problem is fixed.
