We had a pipe in the ground break. My plan is to go through the wall and bypass the broken pipe which goes through the foundation. We have an AAV. Any thoughts on why this pipe appears to go up and down? I was expecting it to go down into the drain line through the wall but there's no...

After doing some digging in regards to my last post, I found the crack in my slab foundation leads right to a cast iron pipe from my kitchen sink ( that does not hook up to the rest of the septic plumbing). The pipe has a crack exterior to the foundation and water rushes out of it when I use the...

Yes on a slab. We're in Waldorf.

Could it be a clog? Maybe some liquid plumber will clear me out?
