Water lines are high pressure, smaller diameter pipes that enter your house. They carry the water you use to drink, cook, clean, and bathe. Needless to say, if these water pipes become damaged they will need repair right away, but how much does this cost? The average cost in America for water line repair is approximately 1,300 dollars, but this national average does not take into account the many factors that contribute to the costs like length, depth, and location.
The truth is that a complicated water line repair, like where you have a pipe located in or near the street that needs repair or replacement all the way to your home could cost anywhere from 7,000 dollars to 25,000 dollars and maybe even more.
There are many factors affecting the cost of water line repair. The main factors are length of the entire water line, location of the problem area, and the individual plumbing service fees. Depending on where you go, fees will vary. When you call for water line repair, you are paying for someone to spend their time repairing your water lines. Each plumber values their time at different rates. Make sure to investigate a plumber’s fees before hiring them for your water line repair, as they can add up quickly.
Another factor affecting the price of the repair is the type of pipe. Some older pipes have to be repaired with older, more expensive materials that were used for all repair and installation when the house was built. With materials like these, the repair can also be more complicated. This raises the price even more. Location comes into play especially when a repair is necessary near the road or in a location deep within the ground. Sometimes, poorly placed landscaping encloses the pipes in roots which both causes the problem to the water line and causes problems when it is time for the water line repair to occur.
When the repair has been made, the costs do not always stop. Unknown water leaks result in unexpectedly expensive water bills. Landscaping damage can also be required if water flooding was extensive.
If you need water line repair and are concerned about the cost, there are steps you can take to make sure you are getting the best possible price. Call the plumbers in your area and find out their quotes. If they offer a free consult, take the offer.
