Hi, everyone! I've been lurking about for awhile and learned a few things. Thanks for being here! I need help... My hometown, Akron Ohio, has a huge number of homes built in the 20's and 30's for the tire plant workers. Some of the higher end homes have small square and octagonal tile floors laid over 2-3 inches of concrete or mortar.Anyone successfully replaced leaking drainpipe that is half encased in the 'crete? The owners invariably want to keep the floor intact, so the work must be done from below. My idea is to replace it at both ends, run PVC paralell to the old, and leave it in there.I have a right angle grinder w/ a diamond cutting wheel that eats up concrete. Anybody?
