Ok, so I just plumbed in a new toilet flange in my bathroom.. I must have screwed up somehow because when i went to glue it to the PVC stubbed up out of the floor the flange was about 3/4 of an inch above the floor. So to fix that i just screwed it down the floor so it was flush with the floor. After that i went in the basement and used a level on the horizontal pipe and because i forced it down with screws the pipe is now angled TOWARDS the toilet. BTW the horizontal pipe is only about a foot long till it connects to the main line which IS STILL angled the correct way. Will this cause problems/leaks/backups? or because its only about a foot long will waste still make it to the main line?

The bottom of the flange should be sitting on top of the finished floor. Is it on the finished floor or the subfloor/underlayment? I don't see the drain plugging up, but you've put a strain on the plastic and that's not good.

One good thing. If there is a slow drain or blockage, you will know exactly where to begin.

Well Steve you are completely right I think.. the flange is on the underlayment.. (1/8th inth hardboard) and im just using vinyl peel and stick tile because were going to sell the house.. i looked again at the vertical pipe in the basement and.. because i forced it down, it cracked.. So now i have to cut that entire 90 out and start over.. I'm just going to have to call a pro plumber, i don't want to deal with this, i just want my bathroom back. thanks for your replies guys
