So how does one remove the pipe casing to see if the footvalve is bad?
I estimate this pipe goes down a good 25 feet? In sections I'm

Good point, you say it is in a basement so, unless there is a hatch
overhead, iron pipe would have to be in sections no longer than about
7'. Of course if it is black poly, you just pull it _careful that you
don't kink it_ and lay it on the floor.
