Broken soil stack

[WHPES]

The top of the clay spigot going into the ground is cracked which is probably indicitave of the condition of the rest of it. If it is cracked lower down then foul water is probably seeping out under the foundations and surrounding soil. The whole thing wants to come off, including the asbestos pipe to the WC from the branch, and any broken pipework below ground replaced. In any case it will probably be quicker and cheaper to replace the lot in PVC than it would be to try and mess on attempting to join existing parts together.

There appears to be a lump of asbestos sitting right at the front of the pipe which has probably dropped off somewhere further up.

Its Plastic coming out the ground. But I agree it is problably in poor condition under ground as well

My pal camera surveyed the undergroung drain from the manhole to the soil pipe which is about 3 metres long this week and he said all was ok with it.
The reason why the plastic spigot is cracked is because it has been wacked quite a lot by the wheely bins over the years as the pipe is near to the gate.
As for the soil pipe it is like this:
1-ground to branch is cast iron,
2-branch is asbestos,
3-bend from inside house goes into branch maybe asbestos or clay,
4-from branch upto the roof line/eaves is cast iron or a material that is metalic as a fridge magnet sticks to unlike the asbestos branch where it will not.
As in earlier posts by me i wanted to use a fernco connector from the bend connected to a short plastic pipe into a plastic branch and then above and below this all in plastic and leave 3/6 inches of cast at ground level and use another fernco to join to that, if thats no possible then plastic to plastic drain connector/adaptor.
