I was breaking up some concrete in my basement to set a tub. The drain pipe is about 3-4 inches away from another pipe coming out of the concrete that is a vent pipe and also has a T fitting with a cap on it for the rough in for the vanity drain.
After breaking away the concrete for the bath tub draing, I noticed that the fitting for the vent pipe is cracked. I can't see the rest of the fitting just the top but I think that it is inline with the main drain pipe running through the concrete.
How do you repair / replace a fitting that is in concrete? Can I break the concrete away replace the fitting and use rubber fitting with clamps around the drain pipe? My concern is that since the draing pipe is not movable (and assuming that it is 4 inch, which I think the main pipe is) I won't be able to spread it apart to glue in the repair fittings?
Any ideas would be appreciated.
