In college, my very Chinese landlord was quite the tightwad. The sewer backed up and he paid a young man to dig it up. The fella was good for the digging, but confessed to knowing nothing about pipe repair. The landlord asked me what I thought and I said that with the entire line already dug up, it would be better to replace the terra cotta pipe completely.
