Although they can be expensive, plumbing repairs need to be taken care of as soon as possible to prevent further damage from occurring. One of the first things people wonder about when facing a plumbing repair is how much it’s going to cost. While there’s no way to know the exact price, we can look at some common plumbing repairs to get a rough estimate of their cost.
Replacing a Cracked Pipe
Replacing a cracked or otherwise defective pipe is typically an inexpensive project. However, if a portion of the wall has to be removed to get to it, that could add to the cost of the project. The same might be true if the pipe is at a weird angle, which means that the job takes longer to complete.
The folks at Yellow Submarine Plumbing & Rooter in Vancouver can repair or replace almost any pipe in your house in a timely and affordable manner. We can also detect water leaks that may damage pipes or cause other problems that can make your house less comfortable to live in.
A Sewer or Drain Line Is Clogged
If you are having trouble flushing your toilet or seeing water flow back into your tub, it may be because a sewer or drain line is clogged. A clog can be caused by organic material, a tree root or many other issues. These repairs tend to be among the most expensive because of the time and effort needed to diagnose and repair them. It may be necessary to put a camera into the sewer line or excavate near the pipe itself to gain access to it.
