    Here's one way:

    You'll need a pro to do it. Looks like rotor-rooter does 'em.
    I've seen the process done on 48" storm mains, but its different.

    Myself, I'd probably do it the old-fashioned way an dig it up an replace.
    You'll have to weigh the differences in time, and cost.

    What size is the pipe that's leaking? Is the washer connected to that line also? How long a pipe are we talking about? I can tell you about pipe relining. I just had my 4" house main relined. It wasn't cheap but saved me from tearing up my house. I don't know if I would recommend relining a kitchen drain that's only 2" , especially if a disposal and washer are on the same line. Let me know more about your set up. What else is that line draining? Regards, Tom
