How did that happen?

Looks like something settled or there was to much weight on the fitting

sometimes, if you get too generous with the cement inside the hub, it gets pushed to the bottom of the socket and softens the ABS. Then, over time, pressure eventually snaps the weakened connection right at the juncture with the main body of the fitting.

Looks like the wrong glue was used too

Thanks for your replies. I am replacing the hub this weekend. I have no idea how this happened. Lived at this place for 5 years and two days ago I had seen the leak in my garage and my basement. I have had my roof repaired recently but I can not see the leak problem related with the roof. Who knows ?

ABS glue joints have a yellow color to them. If its clear its PVC glue. Expect more problems
