Getting ready for rough inspection on my basement finish. Last thing to do was glue in the trap for the shower. The drain pipe was roughed in when we built the house 15 years ago. The angle and position in the hole the plumbers left in the slab was not great and I had to cut/break out some concrete to get enough pipe showing to glue the trap to. I was cutting the pipe today with a bladed PVC pipe cutter and the blade got out of the track and started crushing the pipe instead of cutting it all the way through but since it was down below the slab I didn't see it. Long story short the abs cracked. I have about a 2" crack in the ABS.
I have attached pics of the crack and the pipe from above. I don't really have any room to cut out the cracked area and patch in new without taking out more concrete. There is enough room under the edge of the slab where I could glue on two repair couplings and still have room to glue on the trap wier. I know this is a hack way to do it but would the repair couplings and the trap hub seal up the crack?
Thanks for any advice.
