Is $7,500 to tunnel and replace 10 feet of pvc sewer line a fair price?
Project Details
Recently had foundation piers installed (~$21k). Warranty requires a passed hydrostatic sewer test within 60 days. Failed the first test; camera showed 30-year-old PVC drain lines with a short belly and a possible small crack in the kitchen/master/utility branch.
