I recently finished (last weekend) remodeling my kitchen and everything went great. Today I had a problem with my dryer and pulled it away from the wall to take a look at the back. As I pulled it away I found the attached picture. I bought the house a year ago and the pipe appeared to be in fine condition with no corrosion at that time. Now it looks like it is about to explode. I'm not a plumber but know that it can't be good because the cast iron is flaking off. One piece even fell off when I touched it. This drain runs under the slab in my living room from my new kitchen to the basement laundry room. It then goes into the laundry room floor and out to the street. It is not leaking now but appears that it is in really bad shape and it is only a matter of time before it does fall apart. My question is what the heck do I do? The kitchen is the only drain that runs on this line. Everything from this point back to my kitchen sink is under the slab and runs under my new floor in the living room an under part of a giant brick fireplace. Is there any way to fix this without some serious work? Any and all help is appreciated. I have a feeling I am in trouble
