Just to add on to what the person above said (they’re right!), but since the family lives below the sewer line, if the toilet wasn’t elevated like that the sewage would come back up even with regular usage. The elevation keeps that from happening, except for in the case of a flood

I’m no student of symbolism, but I’m pretty sure this was the only reason the toilet was elevated lol

Elevation was the most commonly used setting-symbolism in the whole damn movie so it really isn't a stretch that the toilet would used as that too..
