Hello plumbing friends,
My house was built in 1941, and it's definitely time for a repipe. Redish crud comes out of the bathtub faucet, the tap water tastes metally and water pressure has been getting gradually lower in the two years I 've owned the house.
In addition, when the washing machine hits the rinse cycle, the drain water comes out of the bathtub and utility sink drain. I had Roto-Roote clear the drain last time this happened, but that lasted less than a year. There's roots growing into the sewer pipe.
All of this leads me to believe that I need a relationship with a good plumber who will do quality work and not rip me off. For an 850 sq.ft. house with one bath, shower, washer, dishwasher, three sinks and two outside hoses, what am I looking to pay for a repipe? Also, to upgrade about 30 feet of old clay drain pipe from the house to the city sewer, what's to be expected?
Thanks
H.A.
