Level flooring in basement bathrooms is important because it provides safe footing and prevents dangling feet when using raised toilets. Uneven or raised platforms by ten to fourteen inches are common over slab drains or macerators but can feel unstable. Extending or adding a step to the deck around the toilet ensures your feet touch the floor securely. Stable flooring also reduces echoes and improves overall comfort, transforming the space from creepy to functional.
