Looking for opinion on condition of line to main
Please help! We're under contract to buy a home and after having a plumber run a camera out to the main in the street, we're not sure what to do. The plumber indicated there were major problems all the way to the tap, including root intrusion and offsets between sections of the clay pipe. Recommendation: $8,400 in repairs. We had a second plumber look at the video and his opinion was that there were problems close to the house that needed to be addressed, including where the iron pipe meets the clay pipe. He suggested replacement of about 15', installation of a couple of clean-outs, to the tune of $2,400. If you'd like to see the vid and give an informed opinion, I posted it on YouTube here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ha3nmcBPiWQ
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
