I have a 4" ABS pipe in the basement coming out of the floor. It goes to a sanitary tee and then reduces down to a 3" pipe. From there it goes up and bit and and uses 2 45 elbows to to shift a bit before going up the wall. Right at the connection of the first 45 its starting to leak. These pipes appear to be the original from when the house was built in 1976.
My question is whats the best way to repair this without have to open any walls. I was thinking about cutting the 3" pipe above the reducer and then try to break the pipe out of the pipe at the first 45. Then if that goes well glue in a new piece of ABS into the 45 and use a boot to connect the straight pipe.
Does this sound like the right direction?
