Hi Lads (Ladies),
I'm up the creek here in misty Ireland where we've lots of water and my good wife is about to leave me unless I get this sorted kind of fast!
There's a break in an old 6" waste pipe (Earthenware or Terracota) up the garden . I've had it camera checked and they say it's a break caused by tree roots.
I'm being quoted $3,000 to repair it even though it's only 12" below the soil. They're proposing to insert some class of a liner to do the repair.
My questions are:
1. How does tthis price look ? Is this a good solution?
2. I do most plumbing myself but this is new to me- could I repair it by cutting the pipe in two places and replacing with a plastic section with sleeves over the old pipe? or is there another solution?
Thanks
