Fix broken PVC pipe in basement concrete

[Zerocool749]

Hi all,

While grinding my floors I broke the 2" PVC pipe coming out of my concrete basement floor. This feeds my utility sink. What's the best way to fix this? I'm thinking I could cut and chip out the PVC pieces and clean out the 90 degree elbow. It looks like that is still in tact.

This is how it should look, but it's now broken at the bottom. My plan is to chip out the pieces from the broken PVC pipe. Then glue a new 2" PVC pipe into the 90' elbow that you can see in the picture above. Then use a coupling to attach to this piece that's mostly in tact. I'll replace that AAV at the top as well.

Any advice? Thanks!

You'll probably ruin a ram bit but it should work.

Small hand saw to cut some slices in there and pry the pieces inward. I'm not sure how a RamBit would work on the angle that you have.
Before RamBits, my fix was the small slices with a saw blade and prying the pieces out.

I use rambit on crooked cuts and to trim shower drain stub ups.

Hi all, thank you for the help! The ram bit / fitting saver worked great. I used that to get down to the 90' elbow. Then I used a dremel to clean up the sides so the new 2" PVC pipe would fit. It's all fixed now and appreciate the help. I never would have thought of that tool on my own.
