Thank you for the advice, yes I saw the breaks in the video as he was running the line.
The quote for tunneling 45ft and replacing pvc is crazy Expensive. It is definitely the “retail price” he quoted me. I will ask again regarding pipe lining options. When I inquired about it, plumber said lining, it is usually not prefect since this is PVC breakage not just pipe cracks and the cost saving is not significant enough and maybe headache down the road.

I will try to get more quotes and maybe a company that specializes in pipe lining options.

I was told foundation work / under slab pipe repair is common in the Dallas TX area due to soil type. I just can’t imagine how everyday people spend this much money on pipe.

I don’t think insurance covers any of the foundation repair, also wonder if insurance will cover any of the sewer line repair work? Is it worth filling a claim?

Any advice/recommendation/similar experience is appreciated.

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?
