I have the issue depicted in the attached images. The metal (chrome?) pipe seen entering the wall has rusted approximately 3/4". The pipe extends roughly 2" out of the wall. Until a few minutes ago there was a PVC coupler covered with plumbers putty that joined the 2 pipes. My concern is that this wasn't the correct solution in the first place so I am seeking the assistance of generous folks like you all.
I am toying with the idea of cutting back to get clean pipe and using a longer coupler for the 1 1/4" drain pipes. If the PVC coupler is the correct solution.
Or calling a plumber to open up the wall in the next room and take this drain pipe through the floor into the crawl space and over to an existing PVC drain for the shower.
My house was built in 1920 and has mostly been retro-fitted with PVC and copper. However the toilet and sink in this bathroom look to be connected to the remaining 4" (?) galvanized toilet drain.
Just looking for a little suggestions. I am capable but I'm not too foolish enough to attempt to far exceed my abilities (after all a little exceeding is how you learn right?!?).
Thanks in advance for your time and typing!
