I'm not sure how to go about fixing this, or who to even call to fix it. Here is my problem. My garage has a concrete floor, and the water pipe bringing water from the house to the garage has broke. Its a plastic pvc pipe and broke pretty close to the ground where it comes up.

I honestly know nothing about this, but it looks like my only option is to chisel up the concrete around the broken pipe so I can put a coupling on it or something.

Any ideas?

Chip out and grout around it.

id chip out along the pipe like a -1.5 inch wide tred depending on the diameter and tan get a grateing ot door syetem to run the lehth of the garage just incase it breaks pop out the gradeing and work so u dnt have to rip up concrete again

Yep it sucks but that is about the only way.Unles it broke off even with the concret then you might be able to put a street 45 or 90 in.pics would really help.

Sorry its a cell phone pic. Thats pretty well ground level looking at it.

You should go to www.houserepairtalk.com and ask there.

I have come across this problem a few times in remodels. I use a hole saw a little bigger than the pipe to cut the concrete out around the pipe then take a chisel to the gap from the hole saw and the concrete should bust out relatively easily. You should then have enough room to slide on a coupler. Oh and make sure its a diamond blade, not a bi-metal.

I'm not good at this sort of thing.....who would I get to fix it? I'm thinking a plumber..

is the sink right above that?IF so plenty of room for a street 45 then a little peice of pipe and another 45 to staighten back up.no problem.just go to home depot,lowes,hardware store, take that pic in to them tell them you want a street 45 to come right out of that and straighten back up with another 45.

and yes you would call a plumber if you dont do it yourself but be warned.I charge 92$ an hour around were i live,but really that is no big deal.couple of fittings some primer and glue and have it done in couple of min.

Thanks alot guys, i sure appreciate the help on this. The knob to turn the water on is where its broke. It was a water spicket, and it was about 3 inches from top to bottom.
