: I recently noticed that my cast iron closet flange has separated from the pipe to the main.
after spending a couple of hours I noticed that the pipe that connects to the main and closet flange is not supported by a hanger. to my assumption I believe that after so many years it has actually pulled away from the closet flange. my question is can that be the reason that I now have this problem?
I believe that the line is not properly pitched because when I look inside of it I can see water. now that I have come to this situation should I consider on changing the line to a pvc line or just have a plumber place a hanger on the existing pipe. I understand that if the water stands in the pipe for a while It will rot out the pipe.
Also, could the possibility of the standing water be because I have an existing clog further down the line which would add weight to the pipe that would cause it to settle as it has.
I would greatly appreciate a reply and thank you in advance. data
