Hey guys. I'm doing some renovations to my house, purchased it 2 years ago. Looking for some advise.
I ripped up the laminate floor in the basement and found what looked to be a leak, so I ripped the drywall off the wall and found the clean out for my kitchen sink drain pipe leaking.
It's leaking from the top joint. Looks like someone tried to fix it by adding more glue around the joint.
Normally I would cut the whole section out and replace it, but there's not much to work with. I was thinking of cutting the fitting right below the clean out and try removing the rest, the female section, without damaging the small piece that's coming from the fitting coming out of the floor.
I never tried removing a joint. what are the chances of doing it without destroying The pipe? Is there a better way to fix this leak? I'd hate to have to break through the cement to fix this.
Any advise is greatly appreciated, thanks.
