I was trying to clear a clog from the drain pipe under our bathroom sink. The house was built in 1960 and I suspect it's original plumbing.
When I tried to loosen the nut to the trap the 1 1/4" drain pipe that goes into the wall broke off. It was badly corroded and was likely to break soon anyway.
Now I can see into the drain pipe that the corroded 1 1/4 pipe goes into - but I don't see any threads. There's just a hole.
Is there a way to put in a new pipe with epoxy or some kind of waterproof cement sealant so that I don't have to open the wall?
The wall is tiled and my wife is already giving me the evil eye when I said I may have to break a few tiles.
