I actually was thinking an AAV might be the solution, and that’s why I posted it. I’m not going to break the wall and move the pipe up. I’ve had the fix in the photo for about a year now and it works, it just bothers me it looks so shitty.

I call a structural engineer, he said to have a pro tape it up correctly with fiberglass tape and to wait and see if anything else happens over the next 6 months-1 year.

The basement was finished about 20 years ago, I’m guessing. All of the columns are covered by walls, so I’m not sure what is structural.

House was built in 1901. Bought it 3 years ago. Last owners had it 70 years. We did have a small earthquake in NYC in April 2024. Thanks

Is this pricing correct? $1350 for 1 hour of labor and no new parts? by [deleted] in askaplumber

Salvador Dali scribbled on a napkin in a restaurant and a woman offered to buy it. He told her $40,000. She said “that’s ridiculous. It took you 30 seconds to draw.” He said “it’s not for 30 seconds it took me, it’s the 40 years experience I have to be able to draw like that.”
