I believe the pipe I mowed was one the builder cemented (I think that's what the purple is) into the clean out tee to bring it up to ground level. I'm not sure if it goes without saying so I'll just say it's not septic tank I'm on city.
My question is this something a novice (in every sense of the word, I only have 17 months of home ownership under my belt) can fix, and if so how? Or am I in serious trouble, meaning I need to pay alot of money to a local plumber. I've already purchased a 4" pvc pipe with bell and plain ends. The bell end is too small to go around the above pictured inground opening at the tee and the plain end is too big to fit inside. I'm wondering if there's a way I can get a pipe inside the bell end of my new 4" pipe and then slightly inside the tee (don't want to block anything obviously) and completely cement both ends. Or if there's simply a better way; I'm guessing I'm not the only one who's ever done this.
I'm stressing because I want to fix this right and avoid a situation down the road where sewage floods my yard (if that can even happen). But at the same time like most everyone I'm trying to hold on to every penny I got because you just don't know if your next work day will be your last.
Any help is much appreciated!!
