LOL agreed, It sounds like they werent glued in the first place. Dont ask why I say that LOL. Yup I did the same in that duplex I built. A lot of connections to glue. Missing one for me was pretty good .....

I never heard of waiting 2 days for glue to set. If proper glue and primer was used to start with , it would be ready in 5 minutes. That line is not under pressure, just gravity. It almost sounds like one of the pipes was cut 2" short to start with also

Glad you found it. What a pain!!

Re: “DE, you figure out your water leak prob around the washer??”Yes. The plumber ripped a bit more of the sheetrock from the garage ceiling and exposed two PVC pipes that were supposed to be connected but that had pulled at least two inches apart. Apparently they were improperly glued. He re-glued them and was done. It took him about 5 minutes, with most of that time spent trying to find something that would hold the lower pipe up while the glue dried.

He advised me to wait 24 hours before using the washer again. I'll wait 48.
