Well the copper drain lines for my bathroom are failing, leaking. the house was built in 1950 so i guess its time. these lines are in my kitchen cieling and honestly I would like to replace all of them with plastic I guess PVC lasts forever? no doubt the perforating copper line comes from 60 years of drain cleaners..........
anyhow a couple copper ines go thru floor beams, and i am reluctant to make the cut out area larger...... these beams support the cast iron tub at least partially.
But all PVC would make me happier.
so I am thinking of having a buddy of mine with a machine shop welding up a heavy steel support that would fit around the beam where the line goes thru on both sides with carriage bolts.
has anyone else done this?
does PVC really last forever?
