Homeowner Forum / Construction / August 2008Cost to re do plumbing
How much (ballpark estimate) does it cost to re do the entire plumbing for a house with 2.5 bath and a kitchen. Assuming everything had to be gutted and replaced including pipes. Thank you Ken > How much (ballpark estimate) does it cost to re do the entire plumbing > for a house with 2.5 bath and a kitchen. Assuming everything had to be > gutted and replaced including pipes. No way to tell...slab construction or full basement (finished, not), location, location, location, ...??? Somewhere between a medium to a very large ransom should cover it, however... -- > > How much (ballpark estimate) does it cost to re do the entire plumbing > > for a house with 2.5 bath and a kitchen.

So your equation should read: TWAG $9K +/- WTFK? R > > > > How much (ballpark estimate) does it cost to re do the entire plumbing > > > > for a house with 2.5 bath and a kitchen.

All fixtures additional $'s. OP- Need a new mainline? cheers Here in California, that is VERY low. Add at least another 8K. Who supplies the fixtures? Does the re-plumb cover gas and DWV, too? Cast or plastic DWV? Many variables here that are not answered...

Mainline previously done. re-reading OP...yeah, lots of details not present cheers Bob Ho boy. My best guess is one arm and to the knee of one leg. > How much (ballpark estimate) does it cost to re do > the entire plumbing [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Ken >Ho boy.

He's unlicensed, but he performs his own surgery so he can save you the surgery and anesthesia bills. R For my house just to replace the pipes was about $200 in materials... BUT I had to dig out the crawl space under the house to get to the pipes to replace them. This took months of my time. If I had to pay someone to do this, it would have been thousands of dollars in labor. Now if all your pipes are easy to get to because you have a basement, then: pipe materials + fixtures + labor.

For that small of an amount I would assume you are talking only about PEX supply lines and that it's a small house. I would also assume that you didn't have much in the way of valves, didn't use a manifold, etc. R |
