My Old House Part 2: Question for the plumbers

It would help to know how far a run it is to the main. Do they have to cross a curb or cut asphalt. How about those trees? How close are they? It's been awhile since I had mine done, but for 40 some feet was around 5K - and that was to replace in a 12 foot deep dig.

In most areas the homeowner is responsible for the connection to the main or curb - depending on where the main is located. For me the main is about 25 plus feet out in the court so I'm only responsible to the curb.

Since they got it running at the moment, you have a little time until it backs up again so shop around some estimates. And don't be afraid to let them know that you are getting estimates.

Good luck with it all.
