The "plumber" is here installing a 4" cleanout on the front of my house. They guy who sold me on the job last night while clearing my sewer main isnt here today like i was led to believe. anyway the guy that is here broke my old 3/4 galvinized water main right at the entrence where it comes out of the ground. line is in fairly bad shape so not entirely their fualt. Luckily i was here to turn the water off at the street. the guy digging appearantly didnt know where to look. the water meter is a 50' run out toward the street. 20' of it is under my drive way. this happened 4 hours ago and a guy who isnt just a trench digger just showed up. he's going to get a temporary sleeve to put on. I'm doing my damndest not to stay calm. doesnt seem to think its a big deal that i dont have water and "the guy will come tomorrow to talk about price." i told him i want that guy here 4 hours ago. i'm paying 3k for the cleaning, jetting some roots out of the sewer main to the street and a rv dump -
"Cost to excavate a 3x3x3 section on dirt area in front of house area to expose damage cast to clay connection of main sewer line. Remove damage section and install proper 4inch dual sweep clean out access for main sewer with p-trap for rv dump. Once clean out access is installed will hydro jet to flush out build up and roots. Will re camera sewer line after to verify rest of condition of pipe. "
question 1- I'm i getting hosed
question 2- how much should i be paying to redo the water main in copper
thanks for looking
