This is a two story and the water heater is in the attic and the pipes coming out of the water heater and around had been cut and vandalized.

That was materials and labor to replace the bathtub drain assembly, a new P trap, and 1.5 inch PVC pipe to the main stack that was about three feet away. $1,500 that you got charged is highway robbery.

Keep in mind, I was actually selling at market value, not some inflated pipe dream.

There is a water pipe ditch that connection lake palmdale to anther water sournce, to make sure the lake palmdale don't dry up. 

Ed Lee@ed leeI got it done very reasonably because of an arrangement with my contractorbut what was purchased was about 60.00 worth of pvc fittings and pipe you need a drain pipe and supply linesyou need the washer dryer hookup boxesand a roll of electrical wire that handles 220 currentwe had to get 2 30 amp breakers one for each unitand dry wall and mud to repair what we ripped outand finally vent tubing I cant say exactly what all this cost but somewhere in the neighborhood of 350 but remember I was doing two units the labor was priced at 160 a day and it took three days to complete.so just under 900 to do both units

Generally Oak roots don't cause damage to foundations and pipes.

Hi all,currently working on a deal with a house that has an issue with the main water pipe going into the house from the street.

Lately here they have been ripping down copper gutters, cutting out exposed copper piping, and stealing the street light wiring!

That means if it's a bad thermostat, exhaust fan motor or contactor I'm doing that myself.all cash

In that case it was more from excess run-off causing the storm sewers spilling into river with pollution.The point is a city provided system is more consistent and once in place you rarely have to do much other than make sure your pipes stay clear from the house to the street.John Corey
