    There are some cracks and splits in the first 12″ or so which I have wrapped and the insurance company wants to see it replaced. Providing the last 5 ‘ are in good condition do you think I can use a fiberglass sleeve and add on a new section for the first few feet??

    Why is it cracking and splitting? Ā Could point to raw water supply problems, lack of support or vibration damping, or simply old age. Ā  Ā  Your insurance company shouldnā€™t have to tell you when maintenance is dueā€¦

    Do you really think helping will come without you posting very good pictures of what you are asking to be fixed, replaced, etc etc?
