Hi all
We had a plumber replace a section of PVC drainage pipe under an upper floor bathroom in our home in Maryland.
I was kind of surprised to see that the plumber used flexible couplings.
I'm not really familiar with working with PVC pipe but can kind of see the reasons they mentioned. Where there are joists near the opening in the picture attached near the two ends of the copper pipe and left of the picture.
The section of PVC pipe that we needed replaced is that T joint and that pipe feeding into it above the copper section.
The plumber mentioned that the only other option would have involved removing the joists which was not worth it and would risk compromising the structural integrity of the floor. (or something along those lines) and assured that the flexible couplings are an industry standard and last forever.
My question is if this repair is done okay and if not what is the proper/best way to fix it.
Thanks in advance!
