[quote="CVPost-Hoenes"](quoted from post at 07:01:12 10/29/15) I was told to always pour quick-crete around the hose clamp fittings, because even though they are stainless, they will eventually fail.[/
I still stand behind the, if you have the tools on the job do the whole line. The only time I just do a repair, is after I have ran the camera down the line to confirm no low spots holding waste, bad joints, root entry, or cracks in the pipe. And, that would be NEVER in old cast iron. It's bad in the section you have because it's run it's life span. It's done. Unless your planning to move soon, and stick the next person with the problem, do it right.
I don't want to be argumentative on someone else's suggestion, but here the fact on using concrete over a joint. 1) stainless steel band clamps are a code approved plumbing connection, concrete is not. 2) I have dug up plenty to find that when the concrete shrunk back, it left a path for a small root to creep in, grow large, and pop off the concrete. Then poor me, swearing now at the previous repairer, has to hammer off the concrete off to deal with it. In the case above, the joint would not have failed I guess, because the fernco joint would never have not failed. With being a licence plumbing business, we have to do things correctly because we got way to much to do, to do it twice. I highly agree the above that stressed compaction! If everybody laying pipe could have run a camera down a line to see the low spots holding waste from sh*tty workmen ship from no compaction would change their method of installation. Remember, It's a crappy job but some's has to do it. Heck of a retirement job from the nice clean office job I had.
