Need old iron sewage pipe replaced West Fort Worth
Looking for a plumber with creative solutions. I have an older home that has a leaking iron sewage pipe under the foundation. Had a company come out and said they need to tunnel under the house to replace the main section, but could do CIPP (plastic/PVC liner) inside some portions. All of the endpoints (Bathrooms and kitchen) are on the back side of the house, so I am wondering if we could save money by going in through the back of the house, and then trenching a new sewage line from the back of the house around to the front to tie into the existing sewage line.

@Ryan Normand Thanks Ryan! I got a second quote, and it was much better. They scoped the line and said that the main 3" line is in great shape, and doesnt need replacing, but we would need to replace the branch section from the kitchen sink to the main line, and that this section could be rerouted around the back of the house instead of tunneling under. They had lots of options to reduce cost, they came in at $8k less than the first place, and I could knock even more off of it if I trench the new lines myself (the trenching and excavation prices were pretty brutal, I could hire it out for a fraction of the price). I appreciate your quick response!
