I have a kitchen sink drain that is leaking from the soldered connection between the house drain pipe that looks to me like copper and the first length of pipe that leads to the trap. I've attached some pictures. Can someone give me some advice as to the proper course of action I should take? I'd like to remove the soldered on section of metal pipe and replace it with PVC, but I'm not sure how to desolder the connection or how to join the PVC to the copper pipe. I guess I would use a torch to melt the old solder and then pull out the pipe but I've never done that before. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
