    Sewerage drain under mobile home came unglued
    Hi, I am in hopes that someone will help me with this. I have a mobile home and have been noticing water building up around my home. I went outside to the back where the water supply is and pulled the siding from the trailer and the black piping had come loose. There was water flowing out of it and sewerage was there too. My question is, could the problem just be that the piping has come unglued and all I need to do is glue it back? If so, what do I need to glue it back properly. Someone told me liquid cement. I am female, so I know nothing, but don't really have the money to pay a plumber to come and do something that seems simple enough... although not very pleasant. Is there something I need to use to clean under the trailer once this is repaired?

    Tell me a little more about the black (ABS) pipe. Did it simply pull apart at a joint or did it break in two some where? My bet is that a joint pulled loose. If that the case all you need to do is purchase a small can of ABS Cement, clean up the hub and the pipe that's going into it and reglue the two back together.
    For the sewage under your trailer I would spread some quicklime over it.
    Good luck, Tom

    Thank you, Tom. Yes, I think the pipe just pulled apart from each other. Thank you for the quick lime tip. It's a yucky job.. but someone's got to do it, huh?
