Cost to re do plumbing

Aug 21, 2008 12 Replies

How much (ballpark estimate) does it cost to re do the entire plumbing for a house with 2.5 bath and a kitchen. Assuming everything had to be gutted and replaced including pipes.



Thank you



Ken


No way to tell...slab construction or full basement (finished, not), location, location, location, ...???

Somewhere between a medium to a very large ransom should cover it, however...

One story, two story? Stacked bathrooms? Back to back bathrooms? 1/2 bath off the kitchen? How old is the house? Is the house occupied?

copper, cpvc or PEX?

new fixtures?

Who fixes the walls?

SWAG $9k +/-$3k

What about fixtures? Around these parts people drop a grand on a froofy toilet or handpainted sink. So your equation should read: TWAG $9K +/- WTFK?

Ho boy. My best guess is one arm and to the knee of one leg.

Rico-

You're right about fixtures.

I should have said my SWAG was for the re-pipe including 1/4 turn angle stops & nothing beyond.

All fixtures additional $'s.

OP- Need a new mainline?

cheers

For my house just to replace the pipes was about $200 in materials...

BUT I had to dig out the crawl space under the house to get to the pipes to replace them. This took months of my time. If I had to pay someone to do this, it would have been thousands of dollars in labor.

Now if all your pipes are easy to get to because you have a basement, then: pipe materials + fixtures + labor.

Too low, I'd say arm and full leg.

For that small of an amount I would assume you are talking only about PEX supply lines and that it's a small house. I would also assume that you didn't have much in the way of valves, didn't use a manifold, etc.

I know a guy that can do it for a kneecap and three toes. He's unlicensed, but he performs his own surgery so he can save you the surgery and anesthesia bills.

Even in SoCal $9k should do a fresh water re-pipe considering

fixtures extra no drain work no gas mainline extra

A neighbor just had a 2 bath (stacked), kitchen & laundry room done for about $9k. Mainline previously done.

re-reading OP...yeah, lots of details not present

cheers Bob
