Old tub drain leaking

[rebsimoneaux]

We discovered a leak at a joint where the tub drains. House was built in 60s and the drain lines under the slab are cast iron. Not sure what going on where the leak is.. Looks like maybe copper to cast iron. The pipe with the weird flat flange must be part of a trap - holding water. Any suggestions on how to proceed?

That’s all tubular brass.

It all needs to be replaced.

I'm guessing that after that break there's a drum trap buried there

That is a bad looking scene. Get a good plumber in there and he might be able to repair that with out having to tear into the slab

I had something similar to this, your gonna have to change the waste and overflow, take it out ,I bet that's cc a closet wall were the sheet rock is, it might be possible to cut lower than the bottom slip nut and use a no hub coupling
If the piping on that trap is still good
I was able to use a no hub coupling on the inlet of the drum trap and repipe it starting there
