Plumbing – Leaky newly installed PVC drainage pipe

drainageplumbingpvcwater

I am pretty bad doing handy work. Anyways, I decided to add a water drainage to my concrete flat roof. I had mocked up all the pipes and finally waited for a sunny day to remove it all and glue all the elbows, Ts and connectors with clear PVC cement. Today after I got home from work it had rained recently and noticed that it was leaking. I can't isolate from which connection exactly it is leaking from, yet.

Aside from having to cut everything and doing it over and or hiring somebody, what can you guys recommend? Bear in mind that this is on an area exposed to the elements.

If it rains and there is still daylight left, I'll try to post a video.

Get a long sweep PVC elbow, and you'll save yourself having to make junctions on either side of the flawed regular elbow. Or, caulk it and hope.
