I found a leak in my crawlspace from a waste line cast iron pipe under my kitchen sink. The slope on the pipe was wrong and I think water and debris sat in the pipe since 1966 and it rotted through.
The leak is coming from the end of the line with the pipe going through the floor. The Y with the pipe going off the right side went to a waste line for a W&D connection that is no longer used.
1) How much of the pipe should I replace with PVC?
2) Any idea what the trap that is capped off was for? Was is supposed to be a vent? Or perhaps something for the dishwasher at one time?
