I can't get this Y trap under my kitchen sink to budge at all and I need to remove it. There is a hole in the bottom of it. Any ideas that won't damage the in wall piping? Should I just call a plumber? |
I didn't see a photo.
What material is the pipe? Plastic? Cut it out and replace it. Metal? Replace the under sink pipe with plastic. JMO. |

Here is the pic. Phobia has provided me a wealth of advice on it. |
Yikes. I'd follow Phobia's advice.

Yeah, checking with a local friend that used to be a plumber in the morning. If he doesn't want to mess with it then I will call my plumber. If he exceeds phobia's price suggestion then I am taking Phobia up on his offer.

Why do you need to remove it? What exactly are you trying to do?
|
Heh. I don't touch cast iron.

cut it off, flexibile hose/coupler clamped on
anyone that charges you more than $50-60 for that simple job is taking advantage |

How could it leak? There's nothing hooked up to it

If you are already getting leaks in the cast iron I think your very best (but not cheap) method is to remove all of the cast iron to the main stack and put in PVC.
Seriously cast iron lasts a very long time but if its rusted thru / leaking remove it all now or suffer for years to come. |
