Sewer Drain Problems

I have a sewer drain that I am assuming is cast concrete, it's not tera cotta and it's not cast Iron.
Anyway the clean out on this particular drain line runs from the inside of my home to the ouside and down into the ground also, there is a stub located on the outside of the house and the top or the bell had been cemented closed and this stub itself is located in a flower bed I removed. After removeing all the soil from the bed, I noticed the stub was very loose, upon digging down about a foot I found where this stub and clean out connected together. Its sort of reminds me of a wye connection, but a man made one where the pipe was acctually cut to fit the contour of the main sewer line. Well, after finding this I began to notice a sever sewer odor in my basement, I went to further investigate I had found that where the stub I metioned before and the contour cut to connect theses pipes together had separated I mean it actually came out in my hand. After all of this, my question is." How can I reseal this this typ of joint to make a water tight connection. The question of digging it up and replacing it with PVC is out of the question. Do they make some kind of epoxy they would work on cement?

This is a repair best left to a professional. You can't just glue it back together.

I don't know what was allowed when the system was installed. I have used mortar for temporary repairs.

Possible repair

Hi,

I fixed a similar type of problem some years ago with some stainless steel screws and "aqua cement " or "hydraulic cement".

Where the pieces slide together there is usually a couple of inches of mating material. Here I drilled and put in three or four stainless steel screws to stop the parts moving relative to one another. I then built up a good coating of the abovementioned cement at the joint. This cement is designed to be used to fix leaking basement walls etc. It is quick to cure at about five minutes. In my case I made several applications all around the joint ending up with about 1/2" thickness. I have checked this repairs several times since and there appears to be no leaks.

HTH.
