When tearing down my wall in my kitchen, I broke the pvc drain pipe to the kitchen sink. I broke it in half. How do I fix it. Is there some kind of repair clamp that I can use to replace the other half of pvc pipe that I broke off.

Exactly where did it break? PVC fittings are cemented and welded together. You cut them out and replace them. Good luck, Tom

Please let us know more about this. What kind of room do you have to work with. Are you planning to just connect the broken portion of pipe back together without replacing any of the pipe or fittings? If the pipe broke completely in half, it may have also cracked the pipe. Lets see some pictures of this and we will do our best to give you the esiest(and best) fix.

A picture would really help here. Maybe you broke the vent, its probably all PVC and looks the same. Maybe a diagram would help too.
