Cracked waste pipe
Hi All, I have to have about 45 feet of a cracked waste pipe replaced in the cellar. It is the main pipe going from the back of the property to the street – very old and cracked in multiple places. My plumber is quoting $1600 to replace 45 feet of pipe and add appropriate supports (price includes all parts and labor) I have no idea if this is a reasonable price and would appreciate any advice. Thanks

Could do it yourself for about $250

If being done by a licensed plumber in cast iron that is extremely cheap…..I would actually like to get his info if he is in fact a licensed plumber!

Way cheap. Do not use anything but cast iron.

Sounds like a very fair price to me as well.

Cheap if he’s doing it in cast iron.
