A few years ago I had a plumbing company do a $20k job for me that included sewer hookup, setting a tub, replacing several drain lines, and a couple other small things. Last week I found that the joint on a 45 in one of the drains is dripping. I was going to have a different plumber fix it but he stood me up when I took off work. He apologized that night for messing his schedule up. I get it, stuff happens. This should be a fairly easy task so I want to do it myself this weekend.
It’s a 3’ section of 2” PVC with a 45 down to a 1’ section then into a Wye. When I cut the PVC the leaking joint was loose 3/4 the way around and only took a slight twist to come free from the 1’ section.
My Question: If I clean the end of the 1’ piece that had the bad glue joint can I reglue a new 45 in and assemble back to where I cut and join the cut location with a rubber boot. Will the glue make a good joint on the reused pipe if it was previously poorly glued?
