Can anyone tell me the easiest way to fix this? DIY preferably!

Can a section of pipe be easily replaced?

Can you cut it inside after the trap and slide the bad piece out then cut below the ty and start again
That's a good approach! I'm going over there later and I'll see where I can cut it off inside.
Thanks!
 
Can I incorporate some flexible tubing to the vertical to avoid this happening again? I'm afraid the house foundation might not be done shifting. The same thing actually happened behind the utility room (photo) and they both cracked just within the past year.

Or you could secure it to the concrete and brick,there may have been stress on it from the original piping job, it may have been forced to fit, pvc doesn't like the sun either,
Securing it to the structure would be best
