Master plumber Eric Aune tackles a cast iron sewer pipe replacement in a 1960s Minnesota home, walking viewers through the full process — from cutting out deteriorated service weight pipe with a chain snapper to transitioning into schedule 40 PVC using shielded couplings and a donut fitting. The job involves careful prep work, protective gear, and some unavoidable mess. Eric covers the fittings specific to copper-to-plastic and cast iron-to-plastic transitions, Minnesota's purple primer requirement, and the importance of proper pipe support and clean out access. The completed repair is tested, code compliant, and finished in roughly three and a half hours.
