Thanks everyone for all the great input and advice! I wanted to make sure to close the loop on this discussion since so many people have participated. I ended up replacing the main. I got quotes from Balkan Plumbing, Main Man, and Harris. Balkan was literally half the price of the other two.

I live in Park Slope, and I’ve been told by contractors to expect a “tax” on my location, and that the same work done for me might cost double or more what it’d be in other parts of Brooklyn since people assume I can pay more. I’m not sure if that’s how Harris and Main Man operate, but I found the differences in prices for exactly the same work extremely surprising. My solution…I get a lot of price quotes for everything I do, and eventually one is often far lower than the others (30 to 50% less). I paid around $6.5K total to Balkan for a full replacement of my main and line, which extended to the other side of the street. They were in and out in a day and did a very professional job. They let me know exactly what to expect, and I’m happy with the results so far.

Price Gouging is one of the most insulting things to see as a tradesman; I am sorry that happened to you and know the good guys in the industry are trying to change that. Pricing should be constant, written in a book and not change from the Upper East Side to East New York. Glad to see you had it resolved though!

can you recomend a water main service line guy for upper west side manhattan? no dep notices, just an old line to replace in a 10 unit townhouse with low rents!
