Ez ryder Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 looks like that pipe needs to be shored up and have a pex sleeve run through it or install a new pipe . we all know 1 huge reason they have not attempted a new pipe is because it would never be allowed today and if by some payoff it was it would cost trillions for epa compliance.

It's not a critical line, it can be shut in and not replaced, period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
