The PVC fitting where my service line transitions from PVC to copper cracked at the threads. There is approx. 12 Ft of 1" copper from the transition to the house. It is about 3 Ft deep.
While it is exposed I would like to replace the copper and old gate valve at the house with new and a ball valve. All digging is complete and there is a 2" sleeve under the sidewalk.
I have had three smaller contractors look at it and disappear. The one I finally did talk to said that copper is just too expensive and he would not do it. My understanding is that you have to purchase a 65' roll to get the 12'. The rep from the large company quoted $650.00 and said that he had to downsize it to 3/4 because he could not bend 1"
I am not sure what I am missing here. Ballpark to replace 12' of copper and a valve?
Can a professional do some bending of 1" rolled?
Recommendations?
Thank You
