Leaking on Cast Iron Main Stack
Hi there,
I am a single woman and bought my first home last July, a 1900 Victorian and now I am having a problem with plumbing. I had Roto Router and a couple of plumbers come in and it seems there is a leak in my Water Main Stack. Whenever I take a shower on the second floor a slight trickling of water comes down in the basement on the Main Stack. I had a few estimates which are all very high for plumber and contractor. I don't know what is considered a reasonable amount for this type of job but $15,5k seems high to me.
Is there any short term solution I can ask for to solve this issue other than opening up walls and replacing the cast iron Water Main Stack? Is it that bad to live with a slightly leak trickling down?
Thanks for your advice, I really appreciate it.
