Sure it can be done, and it can be done by you if you have some good common sense. First you need to know do you have a Y or a T? Then you need to verify the size of your pipe. You said about 6 inches, that is pretty unlikely for residential. More than likely it's 4 inch pipe. The way to tell, all plumbing pipe is measured by the ID (inside diameter). If you end up with a bare pipe with no hub that needs to connect to the same, just a rubber boot with SS clamps will do the trick. They are called different names such as Fernco and CT (Can-Tex) and are available at most home centers and plumbing supply houses. If you need to connect a bare pipe into a hub that is a different type fitting. The rubber boot will allow some flexibility in the event the two don't quite line up with each other (not that something like that ever happens!) If you currently have a leak in the T or Y and it's cast iron, you can seal it up temporarilly with JBWeld or silicone if it's dry. If it's wet as I suspect it is, maybe some roofing cement that works in water will hold and maybe put a piece of sheet metal over it to hold it in place and use a couple of hose clamps or bale wire. Remember, that would be temporary until you can cut out the damage and repair correctly. Better than smelly old sewer water on the basement floor.

And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th
