Please Help! Cost Estimate for New Home owner of Older Home

Fort Worth, TX · Member since 2016 · 1 post · 0 votes

Hello. About 2.5 weeks ago I purchased older home. The home is about 2850 sq with three bathrooms. The day after moving in one of the toliets overflowed. Through several different plumbers I have learned that my all sewer lines are rusted and need to be replaced. The sewer lines are cast iron and the house is located in Fort Worth and was built in 1969. I have been quoted from $50,000 -$66,000 to replace them all. Please help guide me to a company that will be honest and perhaps cheaper. Yes, I did have an inspection.

    Sorry to hear of your situation, as that kind of surprise will tank just about any real estate investment's economics.    

    I've had good experience with Chuck Glidewell @ Plumbwell Plumbing Co.    He was referred to me by a fellow investor who'd used him w/ good results as well.   Good luck!

    I can't post the phone #, but PM me if you can't find it online.

    Hi ShaRhonda! We use Romance Plumbing Services, and they have gone out of their way to assist us- Best wishes on getting it resolved, and it is so unfortunate the inspector did not catch it- we had a similar problem on our last rental purchase- All the Best- Trace
