Under slab sewer line replacement plumbing contractor
New to being a landlord, and already forked out $20k for foundation repair on this rental house. Now the post test reveals I have pvc sewer line leaks under the concrete foundation. plumber has found multiple breaks in the line which need to be repaired and has provided an estimate for tunneling under the house and replacing entire 45ft main line!
Definitely a very expensive lesson learned, need recommendations for a reasonable priced, good contractor please?

Where is the house? What city?
One way to save some money, especially if you are local is to split the job. Hire a cheap crew to tunnel and the real plumber to set and replace the pipe. Don't pay expensive plumber to dig ditches. There are companies also that just tunnel.
