Hey guys,
I have discovered that the horizontal cast iron (I think) pipe is cracked (with a chunk fallen out) all the way (it seems) to the vent pipe in my 1962 house. This is about 15" of pipe. Before I found this I was planning to use Fernco to attach ABS pipe for a new P trap.
What are my options? Is there a way to cut out the bad pipe and replace at the vent pipe without cutting out a section of that? Perhaps there's a way to salvage the pipe and reline it from the inside (it's pretty rusty inside)? I'm sure the rest of the pipe under the slab is delicate and brittle so the less invasive the better.
Thanks,
Walter
