my house was built in 1895. in the basement there was an old cast iron elbow coming out of the ground (2 feet) and then turning 90 degrees into the wall. it was cracking, i could see in it. it wasnt wet but did emit some sewage odor/gas.
i smashed it with a sledge hammer to find it dry but it did connect to the sewer line. some large pieces of the pipe went down into the sewar line which became clogged pushing water out of the stack 30 feet away from this entry point.
two questions...
one-- i have gotten most of the pieces out of the sewer line. what should i do now as far as cleaning the sewer line or getting out all of the pieces?
two -- how do i properyl seal off this entry?
tks
