Is $5,000 to fix severe plumbing back slope issue in second-floor bathrooms a fair price?

Project Details

First-time homebuyer purchased a 'move-in ready' house from a flipping company. On closing day, discovered the shower drained through a porch light fixture. Later, toilets leaked through the kitchen ceiling due to a severe back slope issue in the second-floor plumbing. Home insurance only covers the resulting water damage, not the pipe repair.

Quote Details

Repair plumbing drainage system for two second-floor bathrooms located above the kitchen. - Address severe back slope problem where pipes sloped approximately 2 inches away from the stack - Repair or replace interior piping revealed by drywall ceiling cuts - Resolve leaks causing water to exit through kitchen ceiling and porch light fixtures
