I wondering what this will require to fix, and whether I might try a temporary patch until I settle on a solution.
Here's the situation: vertical cast iron waste pipe set in pocket in stone foundation wall; the pocket is concreted over (i.e. encases the pipe) to a height about 5' from floor. the 18" segment between the top of the concrete and the first hub is corroded in the back and leaking water. As shown the in pictures, that segment also contains two wyes that are fabricated from saddles u-bolted to the straight pipe. I first thought that a saddle seam was leaking, but it turns out they are tight and its the straight pipe that is a goner.
Could I encase the corroded areas in epoxy as a stop-gap until I can schedule proper repair? How much demolition is the repair likely to require?
Thanks,
Paul
