Cost to re do plumbing

Posted by T. C. Conde on August 23, 2008, 7:18 pm

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...

One story, two story? Stacked bathrooms? Back to back bathrooms? 1/2
bath off the kitchen?
How old is the house? Is the house occupied?

copper, cpvc or PEX?

new fixtures?

Who fixes the walls?

SWAG $9k +/-$3k

Even in SoCal $9k should do a fresh water re-pipe considering

fixtures extra
no drain work
no gas
mainline extra

A neighbor just had a 2 bath (stacked), kitchen & laundry room done
for about $9k. Mainline previously done.

re-reading OP...yeah, lots of details not present

cheers

Ho boy. My best guess is one arm and to the knee of
one leg.

Too low, I'd say arm and full leg.
