Great job fixing that in such tight quarters. I own an 86 year old home and have to deal with these kinds of issues from time to time. Its good for viewers to see what you are dealing with and how you solved it.

Geez, replace both stacks in a house you just bought. What a nightmare. But with the homes being that old, all the infrastructure (water, sewer, gas, etc.) is at the end of it's life. I'm shocked how big of a crack it became overnight. But good job brother!

Thanks for showing the before and after of the cracked pipe and what you did. I wanted to see how you used the Franco connectors on PVC to Cast Iron. I currently have a cracked/leaking bathtub to main pipe leaking bad. Got to cut out the old 1940s cast iron and replace with PVC/Franco like you did. You video gave me some more ideas and built up my confidence a little more! Go Birds 🦅! Yous!

The inspector very much should've seen that. Its right out in the open and all you need is a close look at the line with a flashlight to find it. Once you see one crack you should also recommend the line be scoped from the roof to the street to be sure its all in tact. I see quite a few of these on my inspections, almost one every week.

The rest of the pipe kept cracking because of the vibrations of the reciprocating saw you probably used to cut the lower sections with. Those rusty old pipes are very brittle and will crack with the smaller vibration. It's best to use chain soil pipe cutters.
@PHL_Brownstone Жыл бұрын
Would never be able to get a chain cutter in there. I showed in the video a rot path in the pipe and that’s exactly where it cracked. It was shot and probably would’ve cracked with or without vibration

There were no weird 45’s😂 those were 22 1/2’s Turns out the seller was there during the inspection along with the buyer= my customer. The seller was following the inspector around telling war stories!? No excuse in my eyes! If you look at the first pipe we replaced that goes in the cinder block I didn't say in the video but obviously that was a patch we removed so the seller knew about the crack and didn't disclose. Also the second pipe we removed that started leaking upstairs you can see that was previously opened and covered with newer drywall. The weird wet stains everywhere on the cast fittings joints I'm now thinking were from some kind of a solution test or bubble leak test.

I just purchased a home a year ago & had the same problem. The inspectors manager wouldn’t let me speak with him & said they only check for surface level issues. I paid for a scope test & they failed to do the test. I was able to detect the crack in the cast iron with a flashlight.. It’s been a year & i’m Still having sulfur smell issues & i’m looking to come out of thousands to dig up my sewage line & figure out what the problem is.

I wouldn’t know without seeing the situation. I’m not a plumber. I’m more of a list man. People give me a list of things they need done and I try to handle it as cheap as possible. But I can tell you if you watch enough KZfaq videos and take a little bit from each video you can probably DIY

Understood the Ferncos from PVC to the Cast, but I don't understand why you used a Fernco to attach two PVC pipes together? Just did this in my house due to a rotten lead elbow under the toilet, except I did it right... replaced all the cast in the house with PVC, it's only a matter of time before those other pieces spit, not to mention the scaling inside the pipes.

@@PHL_Brownstone Oh, I understand... I ripped up the floors, and cut into walls. I had to cut the pipes in sections to get them out, but so much easier putting PVC back in. Most plumbers cut into the ceiling, I don't understand this at all considering most older pipes are notched into the floor joist from above. Repairing the floor was the easiest part for me, I hate drywall especially when you're trying to patch a wall that is plaster. Mine was from the basement to the 2nd story and of course the breather through the attic out the roof. Took 4 days total to complete... except the wet wall, it's still open... I just did this last week LOL!

I noticed before I taped the open crack there was a rotten trail leading up the pipe to the next bell. I didn’t notice any kind of support holding the pipe. I believe the PVC pipe in the basement couldn’t hold the weight and settled a bit allowing the pipe to finish cracking in the rotten trail
