Closet Flange


Hi -
on one of my remodel jobs I am replacing and existing toilet in the basement. Originally it was set directly on slab. Now I put a new floor on 2x4 PT sleepers which raised the finished floor by about 2 1/2 inches. Since the original flange was pretty much cemented in I couldn't remove it. Is there a way to use the original flange and extend it ... or put another flange on top of the old one with a wax ring in between? Any answer is appreciated.

Thanks

For what it cost for a new flange wax seal and closet bolts, Go ahead and replace it, all the above might cost $5.00

Try to send these jobs overseas!!
