Raised toilet, what’s underneath

I need to lower this down some with the upgraded toilet, it’s just to high. Just wanted to see if anybody had a guess what’s under there before I go tearing.

  • Cut an access window on the front and take a look inside. Can always make a panel to cover over the access window.
  • Yes it’s low profile at 13.5. With that ledge it’s at 23. The poor 5ft wife can’t touch the floor.
  • Did you replace a low profile toilet with a high profile one? The ones I've worked on usually had a toilet drain pipe that needed the height to run off at a downward angle to reach the black tank. With the flush valve open can you see straight down into the tank?
