Our main water line from pump/well to house broke just shy of a T
junction (under an oak tree under main driveway!). What is the best way
to fix this? We have thought of 1) internal insert, 2) cut out T and
replace with larger T if such thing exists, 3) hire plumber. Any
suggestions appreciated. katcan333

What kind of pipe is it? Is the tee fitting still good?

You can probably use repair couplings, or a coupling and a union, to splice
in a new section of pipe.
