I have an old cast iron waste pipe which has a hole about 2 inches. I put a patch with screen and a compound with a firmco clamp over it. stopped the leak for now. Question can this be repaired without digging the cellar floor up. The hole is about 1/2 inch out of the floor. Maybe a sleeve that will fit inside the 4 inch pipe and slip over the outside with an expandable inside and compression outside? Or is the oly remedy to dig the floor up and replace the whole pipe(I know this is prpoer but money is a factor right now)>
