This pipe obviously meets an elbow in the basement. Unscrew it there,
get a piece of galv pipe that is at least 6 inches longer and replace
it. If the pipe is flush with the house, you are wrecking your house.
you could also replace that piece from the elbow to the outside with
PVC of the same diameter, but you'll probably have to enlarge the hole
in the wall a little bit.

Hi --

I need to extend the pipe leading outside from my sump pump, but it's
never been extended and it's just a piece of galvanized steel pipe,
and the end of the pipe is flush with the brick exterior of my house.
It's a female end, but the pipe threads have rusted and corroded a
bit. Can I just insert a piece of pvc in there without threading it
onto the steel pipe? Does pvc glue adhere to steel? Any advice would
be appreciated.

Thanks, Dennis
