3 clay pipes in the slab of my 47 year old home have collapsed...what are my options in fixing this problem?
Answers:
Open up the slab and replace w/ ABS pipe. Be sure the new pipe is wrapped so it will not stick to the concrete when re-poured. This will allow pipe and slab to move independently in an earthquake and not break again.

eww. they're in the slab ???? what are they ? sewer ? i would reroute it if it's sewer and abandon the broken clay pipes. busting out and replacing your foundation is costly and scary

replacement of the whole thing. They have done their job. go to PVC.
