Hello all, I am needing some advice. First let say I am very familiar with plumbing. Grew up doing it with my dad. However, I fortunately do no have to make many repairs, but today is the first of this kind for me. My fiance came outside her house and water was bubbling up out of the ground. After 30min of digging the most heavy/saturated clay I've ever dug I find the for NO apparent reason the 90 of her 1" pvc waterline had split at the seam. The problem I have is it is 3ft away from where it goes into the foundation on 1 side the elbow and 4 feet from where it goes under the driveway on the other side. So needless to say I have no flex at all in either pipe. I really don't want to do the 90 up, 90 over, 90 down method unless I have to and I really don't like the thoughts of using a compression fitting underground. Am I stuck with only those 2 options? Any adivse you guys could give would be great! Thanks, Daryle
