I have a corroded main drain stack in my Brooklyn rowhouse that is leaking, and I don't know how plumbers access and repair such a pipe embedded in walls and ceilings.
Existing plumbing services lack transparent diagnosis and pricing for difficult-access pipe repairs, leaving owners uncertain about the process and cost.
