Cost to replace sewer line?

[Ed L.]

Hi all,

Haven't been active on here lately but I still lurk at times.   

On sfr rental #9 now.  Have bought and rehabbed 4 in the past year and it's been rewarding at times and challenging at others.  

Was just brought to my attention that one of my 1950's raised bungalow's needs a new main sewer line.  Plumber is quoting $1,100 to replace about 60' of line and tie it all back together.  Good guy, has done other drain work for us and has done a great job.  Just curious what others are paying.  Never have had to replace one before.  Sure it won't be my last.

very good price we pay 1200 to 2k in Jackson.. if its an emergency though IE tenant in the house need it done right away can figure 50 to 100% higher

IN Portland were we live they burst the pipes and don't dig anything.. 3500 to 6k

in the bay area my brother in law does these for a living.. same thing burst the pipe no digging 4 to 7k.  now a days in certain citys there you MUST do this if its an old pipe when you sell the home no choice
