I have a Trane Plus air handler. The condensate pump went, so I bought a new one to replace it. When I went to put it in, I had to lift up the PVC drain pipe a bit, and it cracked. Tried to hacksaw off the cracked piece, and the remaining piece cracked. (Can you hear my wife saying "I told you so..."?). Anyway, I now need to replace all the PVC drain piping. Took off the access panel, and there are two straight grey pipes that go into what looks like some type of PVC coupling. Any advice on where to go from here? Call in the professional? Thanks.

Sounds like you should be able to just re-pipe that drain line. If there isn't enough left to glue to, go farther back the line and just copy and re-build what was there.
