The drain pipe was installed right through these studs without boring holes or any type of reinforcement.
Short or removing the studs and replacing with new, what are my options?
I can replace the jack stud, but still leaves the king and trimmer.
Best advice I got, was to fill the gaps and use a mending plate.
Any other options?
Please note I cannot partially sister the king stud due to the drain line and vent pipe coming up right next to it. The house is on a slab so I cannot relocate them.
