Can you even turn around in this bathroom?#youtubeshorts

Here are some general recommendations for the minimum clearances around a standard residential toilet we look for at a home inspection:

Side Clearance: There should typically be a minimum of 15 inches (38 centimeters) of clear space on at least one side of the toilet. This measurement is taken from the center of the toilet to any nearby obstruction, such as a wall or a fixture.

Front Clearance: There should be a minimum of 21 inches (53 centimeters) of clear space in front of the toilet. This allows for comfortable use and accessibility.

Rear Clearance: The distance between the center of the toilet and the wall behind it should be at least 15 inches (38 centimeters). This measurement ensures that there is enough space for the tank and for proper installation and maintenance.

It's important to note that these are general guidelines, and actual requirements may vary depending on local building codes, accessibility regulations, and the specific design of the toilet. Additionally, some jurisdictions may have specific requirements for accessible or wheelchair-accessible toilets, which may require larger clearances to accommodate mobility devices.

If you are remodeling or constructing a bathroom, it's recommended to consult local building codes or consult with a professional contractor or architect to ensure compliance with the specific regulations in your area.
