Hi Attached is picture showing joint between a 4" wye and the downstream pipe, which is side sewer run of SF residence. It's bottom of a decline.

It's a bit hard to make out because of excess glue, but the joint has about 1/2" gap at bottom. Top of pipe is tighter at the joint. You can see done dirt collecting in the gap, that's the size of it.

Anyway, it's a pain to dig up and change. We'd end up with a Fernco Strong Back in there to remend pipe after a fix.

So is fixing this mandatory our am I worrying about not a big deal?Would sewer scope inspection likely call out to repair if place is sold one day?

Ok. I'm still hesitant and a perfectionist at heart. But trying to follow your advice, Smooky, and leave it alone :)
