Can you connect PVC pipe to cast iron pipe?

Yes, it is possible. Unfortunatly, if you have a cast iron riser, you will have to chip out the concrete to get low enough to cut the riser to install a Clamp-all and a piece of PVC pipe. This might not be possible if you have a short riser. Then you would have to cut the cast iron behind the 90 degree turn. Either way, it's a pain in the butt. Call a plumber. It will be worth it.
