My house was built in 1915.

Some of the plumbing is original cast iron. Mainly the main drain pipe from the only bathroom to the basement.

Half of it was replaced when it was remodeled and the other half was left.

The cast iron pipe that removes the black water has a 16" tear and it's starting to rot.

There's open holes in the wall. There's mildew and mold. We're waiting for the plumber to get us back on the schedule to get an estimate.
The warranty will replace the pipe, but not the walls.

It's just all around no bueno.

And my kitchen is just not in a great place right now, what with the pipe forced remodel of a strange nook.
