Cast iron stack was leaking in the wall somewhere above the basement. I've been patching this for years with epoxy and partial replacements with PVC. Time to go farther darn it. Cast iron will fail when enough time goes by.
Made a access port inside the lower kitchen cabinet too see. Leak was higher than this...
Opened up the wall on the other side hoping to save the tile. Leak was below here.
Sawing off the pipe after supporting it with strap iron. Buddy Dave hard at work!
Sawed out the wye. Not much room in side the darn cabinet. Buddy Dave said this was my job. haha
Stack was split behind the toilet inside the wall.
Going back with PVC. Strap iron support added under toilet flange.
PVC wye in place
Patched back up.
Almost done patching, used 20 minute Durabond at first then 20 minute easy sand setting mud.

Custom PVC coupling...took out the stop so it can go past the end of the pipe and then back for no clearance use. Kind of a slip and slide deal.
