Yet another plumbing problem

We have a separate, outside entrance to the basement. There is a drain at the bottom of those stairs. Turns out that it is broken too. That brings the total to all - all waste related pipes in our house are broken. All I can see is dollar signs. Adding up everywhere.

What I hoped would be a mostly cosmetic renovation, is turnout out to be more a gut and replace job.

I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed today.

  1. Back in the Fifties (the 1950's) they used terracotta (clay) pipes for underground waste drains. After 50 or 60 years, it's not uncommon for them to crack and fall apart. WE had a problem like that on Dogwod, as well. The replacement pipe will probably be pvc and will last as long as or longer.
