    How expensive is it to replace water pipe leaking in the foundation?
    We noticed that our grass near the corner of the house was soaked. Dug up the ground and found water leaking out of the water pipe where it meets the concrete foundation. Plumber said there is a pipe leak in the foundation and a new pipe will have to be ran probably to the center of the house in an interior wall near an outside wall where the water is distributed to the rest of the house. This is a two story house. There is no water leaking anywhere inside the house. Any guesses how little or how much this could cost? Thanks for making this forum available.

    Having said that, get three estimates and go with the one you're most comfortable with. Good luck, Tom

    I would get few estimates and go with the middle one...
