Hello all and Happy Holidays. I have a bit of a dilema with a bathroom Im redmodeling. I hope soemone can provide me with some plumbing education, since Im lost.
It all started with me deciding to remove the old toilet. Keep in mind, Im in an L shaped ranch, bathrooms are back to back, built in 1973, and to top it off, on a slab. SO, I pop the nuts off the base of the toilet and begin pulling......pulling...pulling. Now, Im a strong guy, but the pulling wasnt getting me anywhere. So, stupid me decides to twist....BAD IDEA! Ive learned my lesson to NOT twist a toilet off the pipe. The toilet was on so well, or for such a long time, that as I twisted the pipe (some type of metal) along with it, and the pipe snapped down below. How far down below? Well, far enough that I cant see it until I break up some more concrete! Nice job right? So, Im guessing I need to break up the concrete a bit, to expose more of the nightmare pipe, find where its good, and cut off the bad part. Maybe convert it over to PVC somehow? Another question I have is, where does the pipe go? I mean, does it combine with the other bathrom toilet drain and then go down to a main line? Im not sure of the structure or design of a typical home like mine? Does anyone have any ideas? I dont smell sewer gas, so Im guessing thats a good thing. Also, when the other toilet was flushed, I did see a very small splash of water from the base of the hole....not sure that helps. Please, any information you guys/gals can provide would be greatly appreciated.
