Riiiiiip oooooooff. crazy price. They gave me an estimate to run two copper pipes through an attic from my water heater to bathrooms and a kitchen sink. They estimated 2 guys most of a day for $3400. Then they wanted an extra $600 to repair drywall 6 inches wide by 6 feet long and another 6 feet long by 6 inches wide. I had opened all the walls and exposed all manifolds and there were no surprises. Much room to work due to all in attic from the water heater to the patch and minimal demolition. My calculations would be 200-300 dollars in material and 3200 dollars in labor. I decided to have someone else do it for $1200. It took 2 guys 6 hours of time to complete the job.
The leak detection?? He said it is somewhere around here 5 feet in diameter guess spot and he told me I had a leak. Duh, I knew that, but he wouldn?t give me an estimate until the leak detection was done and charged. I did have another company say the same thing, so I guess everyone does that, even though nobody goes through the slab to fix it even if they know where it is.
Cesar was a great guy, he checked the pipes and told me what I knew, but the estimate??? The leak detection??
There were no surprises, I had everything exposed.
