Plumbing anyone?
What I encountered after cutting a 2" cast iron drain pipe in the basement today.

I wonder if ExLax would work on that pipe.

After removing the uneeded section, I ran my 25' hand snake down the remaining pipe, installed the new pipe and poured a gallon of strong drain cleaner down the pipe. While waiting 15 minutes for the cleaner to do it's work, I boiled 3 gallons of hot water and then poured it down the pipe as a chaser. I went to the basement to listen. In about 5 minutes I heard a mighty belch and the rush of liquified pipe crap speeding towards the treatment plant. I then ran hot water down the pipe for about 15 minutes.

I would check the rest of the pipe quite closely. I have seen this before, and buildup like that rots the pipe.
Best to replace that entire run with PVC.

Actually, the pipe is in very good shape given how old it is. Look at the walls of that cut portion.
