lead drain
Here's a nice lead drain popped into the soil pipe. For those of you that don't see much lead, the bulge is one clue.

Re: lead drain
Forget the lead (although we thank you for showing us what they look like, at least I do because I do not see any), you are not allowed to do that anyway.

Re: lead drain
Thanks Jerry. The whole soil pipe was riddled with leaks anyway, so it all has to go.

Re: lead drain
PA has some old "sxxt" that most of us never see!

Pun intended

Re: lead drain
I see lead under bath tubs and basement laundry sinks all the time. Still see some lead supply from the street, too. That gets expensive.

Re: lead drain
I found three lead supply pipes in the last year. More of them in the older parts of this nation.
