Hi all,
First time poster here. First off, a big thanks to Mr. Love for providing these forums. On to my problem:
We were told the home we purchased was all city sewer, but it turns out one line goes to an old septic system. It's non-functioning, no access hatch, nothing. To top it off my master bathroom still feeds into it, so everything from that bathroom is going into the tank which is leaking/overflowing into the ground. I'm going to remove the old galvanized line and connect that bathroom to the PVC which flows to the city sewer. My questions are how to remove, seal, and connect new PVC. Would a heavy-duty sawzall work? I plan to add support and remove in sections. I'd like to remove it all the way to the wall if possible. What would then be the preferred method for sealing the remaining pipe? Lastly, I'll need to connect new PVC to the vent stack which is also galvanized. Preferred seems to be a rubber coupling, but I'm open to suggestions. Pics are attached.
Thanks all!
