Hi, I have a small insulated office area(mancave) in my barn. It has a 1" ID pvc coming thru a concrete slab. Unfortunately it cracked all the way to the slab. I tried a couple different things with no luck.
What I have now is the pipe cut off flush with the floor. I am trying to figure out what to do with this without replacing it because not only would it require a lot of digging it's under a deck to boot.
My first (and last) failed attempt was taking a piece of the same size pipe and turning it down in my lathe so it just fit and telescope it. Unfort the glue didn't create a seal and water squirted out of one small spot. I am tempted to try this again but with a different glue like some loctite caulking and then caulk around the seam as well. But I want to ask what you all would do?
I just had the idea that maybe I could drill out the concrete the pipe to just enough depth to get a coupler on it but not sure if I could do that without damaging it I don't know.
One last note i'm not afraid of hard work this is more of a time issue. I have a million other things i'm trying to get done before winter and I don't really have to have water out there but if it were something I could fix relatively quick I would do it.
Thanks for any advice!
