I just got a call from home, saying that a pipe has fallen off the side of my house. The house was built in 1916, and the upstairs drain piping runs outside the wall. After my neighbor came and took a look, it seems that the vent pipe for my upstairs toilet has corroded at the iron T and been blown off. Flushing the toilet results in water coming up out of the T. Since the other 2 connections are probably near failure as well, this is what I'm thinking of doing. Cut the drain pipe just below the T where the toilet drain enters, replace iron drain pipe from toilet to drain with PVC, and replace vent pipe and T with PVC. Can I just use a rubber hose with hose clamps to splice the new PVC T into the old drain pipe? And do they make PVC toilet drain pipes/flanges? Thanks for any information you can give me.
