Hi,
I am a novice DIY-er and was wondering how I can fix this external kitchen sink pipe that goes to the drain (see pictures). The 90 degree attached to the wall has cracked and the joint is held with some kind of silicone material. The joint comes off completely sometimes and needs to be put back and is also leaky. If I want to fix the cracked 90-degree pipe, do I break into the wall and install one of these below and then re-plaster it?
Also, for some temporary relief, how do I make sure the joint doesn't come off? Does anyone know what this silicone material is called?
