What moves the price
Why two "simple" repairs can cost different amounts
- Access. A pipe under a sink is quick. The same pipe under a slab, in a block wall or under a raised home takes more time and tools.
- What’s really wrong. A clog in one drain is a $99 fix. Several slow drains usually means a main line or old cast iron, which is a different job.
- Pipe and fixture age. Corroded valves and old galvanized or polybutylene pipe often need replacing, not patching.
- Permits. Water heater replacements, repipes and sewer work usually need a permit. We pull it and include it in your quote.
A scaled water heater element. Replacing elements and thermostats starts at $349, a fraction of a new tank.
