We found a cracked PVC pipe after removing some siding for a repair. The drain pipe is in an exterior wall so we had easy access. But because the pipe was in an exterior wall, its likely that the PVC pipes location was the reason it was cracked.
A PVC repair is a simple 5-30 minute repair if you have access to the pipe.
We used a repair coupling - the PVC repair coupling does not have a "stop" in it.
Whether you have a PVC pipe leaking at a glued joint (as in our case) or you have to repair a hairline crack in a PVC pipe, the solution is simple.
Supplies are on Amazon:
Owens Corning R-6.7 Unfaced Insulation Roll

Here is another video we did which had a leak in the pipe :

The solution we chose which was to cut out the leaking pipe and replace the PVC pipe.
While you may be tempted to repair the PVC pipe without cutting it, you'll see in this video that cutting the pipe is not complicated and can be done by a DIY'er.
In this video we'll show what we found the leak / cracked pipe which ultimately discovered by tearing open a wall to find the leak. Once we found the crack in the PVC pipe, we determined which section of pipe needed to be cut out and replaced.
We used two awesome tools to cut our PVC pipes - a Dewalt multitool and a Dewalt reciprocating saw. We are Amazon affiliates. Our links below will take you directly to Amazon where you can purchase these tools:
Dewalt multitool: amzn.to/2SUft4i
Dewalt reciprocating saw: amzn.to/2XWCEi6
These PVC pipes are drain pipes and vent pipes and as such, they did not have water in them.
Next we cut out the faulty section of PVC and remade a copy of that same pipe to be the repair replacement.
The trick to make this repair strong and yet simple was to use a PVC repair coupling to connect the old and new sections of PVC pipe.
This style of repair is effective to drain pipe, vent pipe and can be used to repair PVC in the ground as well. Especially if you are working outdoors, a PVC solvent glue specifically made for wet surfaces is recommended.
