Faint sewer smell, broken pipe - $20,000 repair

Tenant complained of faint sewer smell.

Plumber snaked camera into pipe from toilet and identified broken pip with water popped where it shouldn’t be.

Estimate is $20,000 to excavate, replace and potential foundation preparation.

What would insurance potentially cover? House built in 1977. Not in position for $20,000 repair.

Quote from @Steve S.:

I've had several complete replacements done and they typically run $6,000 - $8,000. I would get another quote.
