How to repair leaking cast iron waste lines together? Can you combine ABS with cast iron? How?

Ihave a subregional basis cast iron waste lines under the house. There are several joints leak and a "P" trap connection cracked joint. "I can correct joints without replacing the pipe? "I can combine ABS with cast iron? If so, how?

You can replace pipes cast iron with PVC pipe. I would not recommend ABS, as in a fire, the ABS pipe emits toxic fumes. There are several adapters to go from cast iron PVC, and probably the most popular is a "No-Hub coupling." This is a rubber coupling with stainless steel band around it, like a clamp hose. The hardest part will be cutting the cast iron pipe line. You can probably rent a cast cutter. Cut out the bad sections and replace with the same size PVC-Centerless on the ends to connect the patch to the deal. Simply paste the PVC joints and they are good to go! Hope this helps! Any doubt, ask!
