Plumbing leak

[btackerman]

Good morning I am in Clay County FL do and I realized last night that in my drain line I had a pin sized hole in the elbow pvc pipe. I had attempted to cut it out and replace it on my own and now I have a steady drip of 1 drop for every 2 seconds. Can anyone recommend someone to assist me in with repair the pipe or redoing my drains and returns if necessary. I am also not asking for someone to do it for free but give me a quote. Thank you all

Clear in focus pictures can explain alot.
Details in you steps.

This is the best image I could get of where the leak is. I am to the point now that I can admit I do not have the skill set to redo all of the plumbing for this line on my own and either have it function properly or not break something

I see the leak on the sweep 90. I don't see primer or glue residue.
What did you use?

This is NOT the proper method im giving you but it does work. . . .
Shut off water flow, clean the area well with alcohol and apply a uniform bead of the BLUE Pvc cement. It will fill and seal the area that it likely lacking PVC cement.

If you used something like silicone, pull it apart, clean it, dry it and use a pvc glue

Can you confirm you glued that sweep section?

Assuming you did glue that joint, I've used these before in other projects and can confirm they work well if you follow their process.

I did not glue, my lfs recomened not to glue Incase of what I went through before.

IMHO that's not good advice and you can't expect it not to leak if it's not solvent welded. If you're concerned about getting it apart again you can put a union in.
