    Enjoyed your project, as I have a bit similar project as the Hurricane had a tree fall and hit the house and broke the outside water hose pipe at the picket. I Put a hole in the wall like yours and installed a new pipe as the water was off for a few days until I could make the repair. As you stated about replacing your kitchen some years ago, I took a drawing of our kitchen to HOME DEPOT showing floor wall to wall and windows and door all laid out on a sheet of paper. The guy put my measurements, walls, and doors and, in seconds, printed out the cabinet's upper and lower. I returned home with some of the upper cabinets. Using the drawing he printed out for me, the boxes were all numbered, and the cabinets boxes all came flat, and I put them together and moved them in place. Nice project and a bit fun. Make sure to start with a level floor and if you add tile, make sure to let the person doing your drawing know so it all fits as my lower cabinets came up a bit. But it all worked out nicely.

    I wish you had the whole repair with the cement repairs it would have been cool. Good job

      Yeah...I should have. The repair is nearly invisible from the outside. Thanks!

    thanks Carl. You gave me hope that a leaky cast iron pipe behind a cinderblock can be addressed.

    I've had to do similar with soft lead drain lines, but FWIW, I would have soldered a new copper drain back inside again. You were right there.

    Perfect job but I would sleep better if a fix metalic or ppr joints would be kept inside the wall instead of the rubber hose and removable metalic rings.

    What tool did you use to cut into the wall ? I have a stucco concrete and concrete block to cut into for a repair

    Does this compromise the structure at all? Not familiar with block wall construction.

      This does not compromise the structure at all. There is a ton of redundancy in block construction.

    I have the exact same problem. How did you cut the block and how did you patch afterwards?

      I used a cheap $16 masonry blad on my skillsaw. It cut like butter!
      I mortared in a square concrete paver that fit the hole like a glove! Mortared over the whole area and painted! Nearly invisible!

      The hole I cut was the exact dimensions of a concrete block paver I had laying around! I "buttered" up the hole with mortar and set the block into the hole. Once it was set, I parged a layer of mortar flush with the existing stucco finish, then painted! It came out very well. Thanks for watching and commenting!

    I have the same pipe in my Belleair Fl home. 10 inch deep sink (stupid and overkill but "popular") and needed to lower wall drain so started to knock out but decide to get an 8 inch deep sink which makes my garbage disposal outlet now 1 inch above wall drain. Good enough I should think. Mainly I wondered if your stucco now looks orgingal? I would really wonder what a new line (and lowering of line) would cost me from a skilled plumber and THEN the repair all the way through the matching and painting of the stucco would be. I fear VERY HIGH? Maybe 15K? And I wonder if you ever got a quote on what YOU did?

    Have you tried JP weld?

    • @carlgallerbuilds7990

      I consider JB Weld and other similar products to be "emergency" repairs. If I have an opportunity to fix something correctly, I'll always choose that route.

    I would like to see how the wall is repaired with cinder block.
