Had plumbers remove old 2in cast iron p trap for a shower, and install a ABS 1.5in P trap for a tub/shower.
All he did was jackhammer around, snap cut the cast which broke all jagged at the lead coupler. He left about a lip ranging from .5in to 1 in protruding from the old Lead coupler. He then attached a Fernco type fitting with a metal sleeve onto the lip and then put in ABS P trap.
Now its all filled in, except a 9 x 12 box around it and I attached tub drain to test and it is leaking from the cast iron connection into the new Fernco sleeve connection.
\
How do you fix this? Is there some sealant product that you can glob around the fitting??
geoff
p.s. this drain goes right into main stack
