Paging any plumbing experts

Yeah I'll cut out the sections you pointed out, I'll go with ABS pipe, and just PVC glue and purple primer???

 

Black ABS pipe has specific black ABS glue


They also sell a rubber hub like this that allows you to slide it all the way over and past the cut sections. Allowing you to fit in the new ABS section. Then slide the rubber hub back over the repaired section.

 

This is a simple job…I’m sure I’m over complicating it

 

Yeah I was thinking of the fernco, also there is such a thing as to much abs glue, coat both sides but not so it’s just dripping and oozing, and hold the fitting tight for 10-15 seconds after you insert.

 

Sorry I missed your call. Looks like you got some good advice here.

 

Got all my plumbing supplies, wish me luck

 

Cut things square!

 

And the problem is further down, made cuts square, ran some water with a hose and water backs up, you can hear it back up, the pipe is clean from inside

 

The direction I'm pointing is where you can see the pipe make it's turn, that goes towards the back yard, then it's my neighbor's back yard, if I was pointing the other way, that would be front of the house to the street, to the right of this pipe about 10-12' is the cleanout for the kitchen sink, guess I'm gonna rent a snake from Home Depot

 

Don’t forget the harsh chemicals…may help to loosen things up

 

Those hubs that I got the one for the vent is going to be 2 in to a one and a half the bottom cast iron pipe is 2 in and will fit 2-in PVC

 

Looks correct

 

Yeah cuz I got two 2-in hubs, and it fit very loose on the vent pipe so I just got a 2 in to one and a half

 

If you could get a piece of clear tube and then tape that to a shop vac and fish it in the pipe you might get lucky and get to all the rust buildup and suck that out of there?? Might be worth a try?? Anything that will fit into the pipe and bend?? Maybe 1 inch or 3/4s or even half?? If you can get a portion of that stuff out of there then you can block off the pipe with a hose down there and hood that pressure will push the rest on out??? Best of luck???

 

I can only get 25' out of 75' snake has a kink and I can't roll out anymore, have to take this one back, the tip I put had like clay mud

 

Has any digging been done ? We had a project, a new 10,000 square foot building, someone hit the sewer line and put duct tape on it. The place had not been open for 3 days total back up, had to replace all the carpet.

 

Now that you say that, the streets were repaved with concrete, before they were asphalt

 

It's worth a phone call to the city or county. Another issue may be tree roots. Had to dig the bosses sewer line and removed a 5' long root inside of the pipe. Old clay pipe that the root intruded at a joint. If you think you're boss is shity try digging up his sewer !

 

I replaced about 80’ of 4” clay pipe at my kids school……… I didn’t dig a single shovel of the trench, all the moms and teachers did!
Roots were doing the same thing at the joints. I put in 3 directional clean outs so next time it would be easy to send a auger down and clear it

 

I did cut down a pecan tree years back, but if you look at the pic I posted in the beginning, visualize the tree 30' to the left of the drain pipe

 

UPDATE

this is not the problem, house was built in the very early '50's, so that being said, plumbing under the slab has disintegrated, old cast iron drain, found some plumbers to dig and trench like they dug for Chapo Guzman, 80% of all pipe was gone, from kitchen and laundry room, all being soaked into the ground, restrooms on the other side of house were somewhat ok, but are being replaced, but all new PVC pipe under the house now, 4 guys digging all that out, holy hell

 

Glad you got it figured out. It’s crazy how they will tunnel like that! What I always wonder is how do they compact the soil back in place?

 

From what I was told by one of the plumbers, they are going to wet the dirt almost to the consistency of it being able to mold it and pack it back in, I've never seen or heard of that
