I have a 4" pvc downpipe which has a swept Tee joint from an upstairs
bathroom.

This tee joint is leaking badly but it cannot be replaced due to the fact
that it is embedded in a concrete pillar.

I have managed to expose most of this joint but do not want to remove the
structural steel work surrounding it.


Any ideas?????

Is the leak in the glue joint? I have had some luck by creating a vacume
within the pipe, and applying PVC cement which is then "sucked" into
the joint, sealing it.
