What happens here
After cutting open the drywall, the cause of the leak is revealed: a black ABS vent pipe section is completely disconnected from its fitting. To fix this, Oatey Medium Black ABS Cement is applied generously to the surfaces of both the disconnected pipe and the fitting. The pipe sections are then firmly pressed together and held to ensure a secure, airtight, and permanent bond.
Goal: Securely reconnect and seal the disconnected ABS vent pipe to eliminate sewer gas leakage.
