Is it that expensive to replace a water line?
I've been getting mailers from my water company (through some insurance company) concerning the water line between the meter and my house. I'm responsible for the 30' of pipe from the meter to my house, I get that. The mailing makes it sound like it would be $8,000 to $10,000 to repair the line if it failed. Really? Digging down six feet and replacing a section of 30' pipe is $8K to $10K. How do I get in on this ripoff (business)?

Brand new sewer line from house to city. 50 feet.

Water supply is a different animal, though.

I can't get a hot water heater replaced for $1,500 in L.A.

No joke.

And believe it or not, that was $1,300 less than a plumber!

I'm sure you'd do well here but hate the weather.

I'd hate the weather because I'd have to live outside.

That's crazy though. I replace a water heater in about 3 hours. That includes buying the new heater, draining, install, and disposal. I can't imagine charging somebody $500 an hour for that.

And to top it off, you're "supposed" to pull a permit!

Phobia - don't give any advice, someone will agressively tell you that you don't have a clue what you're talking about and then stalk your posts for the remainder of the night.

Nah - OverHead. He's much more of an expert than I though. Plaster is all he does full-time. It's not that what I was suggesting wouldn't work, it's that it wasn't the perfect textbook technique he would have used. I'm okay with it.

Yeah. I've never pulled a permit to change out a water heater. I'm not going to start either. That would take longer than the entire job.

Yep. All that costs money. If you don't like it, you can buy a shovel, saw, Pipe, fittings, cleaner and glue and dig it up and replace it yourself.
