Is $500 to replace leaky backflow preventer and garden faucet a fair price?
Project Details
I have an old garden faucet with a super leaky backflow preventer that sprays me every time I shut it off. I need to keep the water on with a timer for my plants while I'm on vacation next month and don't want to waste water from the leaking. The backflow preventer is absolutely stuck, and a broken off screw is facing the outside wall, making DIY removal difficult as most videos require the screw to be reachable with a drill. I'm considering whether to attempt a DIY sawzall removal or pay a plumber.

Replace a piece of the sewer line
This quote is for the replacement of a section of the sewer line. The initial leak occurred while both upstairs bathrooms were in use. A technician investigated by cutting open the ceiling below the bathtub. He identified a "spartan sewer line from the 70s" as the probable source of the leak and suggested replacing that piece. The work was performed. Note: The leak reoccurred immediately after this repair, and a subsequent supervisor visit identified the bathtub faucet as the actual source of the leak, not the sewer line.
