About 10 minutes ago my plumber said my problem may cost in the neighborhood of $30k to fix. Yay.
Time to contact more plumbers for estimates.
Instructions unclear. I now have 30000 plumber appointments
I had a small plumbing leak that cost me $700 to fix. There was some water damage but insurance will cover it.
The cost to remove the water - $10k The cost to rebuild after the water leak - $60k
The way our floor was laid makes it impossible to fix just the affected area. They need to tear up the entire kitchen, living room, and hallways.
Six weeks of construction and while they are tearing up the kitchen we have no fridge.
Fridge is just a standard plug usually, move it and plug it somewhere else?
we have a similar situation with our shower, it would likely cost 10s of thousands to fix it, because water is leaking somewhere and its not really accessible.
Dayum. What's the issue?
Sewer line is sagging, so there's a 30ft section that is trapping anything that gets flushed or drained. I called them out to fix a backup, and they found why it backed up alright.
He had to leave to get a better locator to see exactly where in the yard/street would need to be dug up, but it seems to be pretty close to the city connection, so probably in or near the street, which could make the cost that high if it involves excavating the road.
Oof. Where I live, if the problem is within four? feet of the city's main line the city takes responsibility for fixing it. Bad luck, cousin.
Replacing a small section of sewer line costs 30k? That sounds absurd.
shouldnt that be on the cities dime?
Do you have insurance that covers it?
Ye olde septic system finally quit?
