Sewer main line replacement

[Stephen Lynch]

Hello,

I purchased a STR that was built in 1966 and has cast iron pipes on a crawl space. The tenant moved in and said the water was backing up. I had the line checked / hydro jetted and inside the crawl the pipes look to be in good shape but the camera revealed the lines out to the sewer are basically non existent. The plumber said he would waive the $650 hydrojet/camera fee if we go with his quote for a $5400 main line replacement for 41-50 feet. He wasn't really pushy, but I didn't like how he wanted me to sign ASAP. I have also not seen the camera footage yet/didn't ask for it since they haven't charged me for anything yet (and I didn't sign anything for those services). The line is currently flowing per the tenant, but the plumber said it likely wont last.

Anyway, I'm getting two other quotes but does anyone have a general price estimate for a standard PVC main line install for 50 feet?

Thanks,
Stephen
