Toilet Drain Pipe Disconnected?
I already know this is going to be an expensive problem to fix, but looking for ideas for when we do talk to the plumber.
This is 1960s house in southeast Texas. Bathroom is on exterior wall. Wife noticed sewer smell coming from her toilet. So I assumed it was the wax gasket. It was in bad shape so we replaced it, but the smell did not improve. Took the toilet off again today to get a better look and noticed this piece of rubber sticking into the drain pipe. From what I can tell, the drain pipe from the toilet didn’t align with the main sewer drain under the house so they used some sort of flexible rubber adapter. That has either broken down of the house as shifted/settled.
I assume the two options are to dig from the top (through foundation) or from outside under the foundation to fix this.
Curious to see what repair strategies would be recommended and potential cost.
