Plumbing Repair - Plumbing Questions
1.30How much would it cost to repair or replace the plumbing in a 4100 SF house?
Q.Worst cae scenario - how much to it cost to either replace or repair the plumbing in a 4100 SF house. I am considering buying a house which was left vacant in a Minnesota winter. At a minamum there are leaks at the coupling above the main shut off valve, the pressure reducer above the water heater, a waster pipe from an upper floor toilet, the kitchen refrigerator, a burst water softener filter cartridge and irrigation system piping from the house (above ground). The house was not completely pressurized to test other plumbing issues for fear of causing further leak related damage.
A.600
could be for the labor if they charge $60 an hour
I charge $90 in oregon
But he left out the costs of the materials
The pressure reducing valve is around 125.00
the filter housing is dependant of what it is
How bad is the irrigation damaged?
It all adds up
My guess at my rates
1500.00
1.10What information is needed in order to get an estimate on plumbing cost?
Q.I am looking to buy a property, mobile home on land.
All it needs is new plumbing work, it used to have it but no longer does after its been sitting
What all information do I need to call to get estimates on how much it will cost for plumbing? I cannot have somebody go out there since it is in the middle of no where and I do not own it yet.....
I checked everything else it only needs plumbing
A.The first respondent is absolutely correct. If you can contact a local plumber, tell him / the company what you need to have installed, as in how many fixtures, drains, etc. You may be able to get a ball park price on the plumbing installation.
Keep in mind however, that in order to install the plumbing (water supply) to all the fixtures, the walls and crawlspace will be torn apart all over the mobile home. The repair costs of these are rarely included in any plumbers' bids.
If you want to have expensive repair costs, ALWAYS have your plumber do your sheetrock repair.
The other consideration is the crawlspace repairs. In order to get access to all the water piping in the floor, the vapor barrier and insulation must be cut and removed for access. The resultant mess is repairable, but usually it takes somebody who really knows their stuff to put a vapor/ rodent barrier back correctly so that it protects the system and the house from freezing.
I have seen more than a few cases that wasnt done, and I ended up chasing the frozen piping the full length of the house, repiping the whole house in the dead of winter.
The cost of doing the plumbing work and repairs afterwards will probably cost nearly half the cost of moving another mobile home/manufactured house to the lot.
I hope the PROPERTY purchase is a good one, at a great price for you.
Good luck.

1.00What to look for in contractors who repair major water damage?
Q.Bathroom sink pipe sprung a major leak, 15 minutes worth of tap water soaked hardwood flooring, plaster walls and ceilings and ran into some duct work...also we are concerned about the electrical wiring behind ceiling and walls, what are some good characteristics to look for in hiring a contractor who specializes in this type of work? Also, is it typical for the homeowner's insurance to cover the plumbing work? So far, the adjuster says only work to repair damage is covered but not the plumbing that caused the problem...sound right?
A.Your adjuster is correct. Your insurance policy owes for access to get to the plumbing leak and to repair it but NOT for the part itself.
Start by making sure your house is dried out properly by a certified water damage restoration company (i.e. ServiceMaster). They will find out where the water damage starts and ends, take moisture reading of your flooring and walls & may place fans/dehumidifiers to dry out your home.
After the place is dried out, then address rebuild.
If you need paint, drywall, flooring or baseboards...ask your adjuster if they have a "preferred" general contractor that is on the company's preferred program. Go with one of them if they do.
Good luck.
1.00How much does a plumber charge for emergency service?
Q.My hot water tank is dead.
A.Aye, I hate when this happens: Your water heater goes out all of a sudden, providing not hot water without advance notice; it should be able to tell us in advance of its failure so that it can make it easier for us to schedule a repair that timely coincides with its actual failure. But enough of wishful thinking.
Well, you need to have a local plumbing contractor give you the local rate for this project, as the contractor would only be able to more accurately assess the situation. Fortunately, there are plenty of local plumbing contractors seeking to give free estimates with no obligation. It's important that you get a local estimate and not rely on guesses found here on Yah because the cost of material (what is needed to fix the plumbing problem) and labor greatly varies by location.
As I said, free estimates from local plumbing contractors are the key to your success in this home improvement repair project of yours. Here's a great link to a handyman site that offers free very resourceful information to assist you in determining the cost of your project, and, ultimately, selecting a local plumbing contractor in an effort to get the best deal for you:

1.00Plumbing questions-- how do you repair aleaking anti sipon hose bibb?
Q.Repair leaking anti siphon hose bibb
A.You don’t mention what type it is but I am assuming it is integrated into the hose bib. You can take it apart to see if there is any debris in it, but you may need to purchase a rebuild kit………. the diaphragm and “O” rings do go bad.
You may try flipping the diaphragm over sometimes that works
1.00Mobile home repairs? Can a contractor do them?
Q.I can't find any type of mobile home repair companies around. I recently bought a rather large mobile home, that needs A LOT of work. It has the potential to be a beautiful home, but it needs some rewiring, some floor repairs, a bit of dry wall, some new carpet, painting, a good cleaning, some new cabinets, a bit of plumbing. I'd like to find someone who can do it all for a set price, can a contractor do this, or who would I contact? I'm hoping to put less than $10,000 into the home. Some of it I can do myself like paint, carpet, drywall, but the wiring, plumbing, and flooring needs an expert.
A.Any competent tradesman should be able to do that stuff. Unless your mobile is very old. most of it will be very much the same as the same stuff in any house and if it isn't then someone with a little experience ought to be able to figure it out. Just make sure you get someone licenced and properly qualified for the plumbing and electrical. Ask around for a good contractor, or simply an experienced carpenter who can assess what order you should be doing things in. What he can't do, you get the electrician and plumber in for. If you can't afford it all at once, electrical is where I'd put my money first because it's a safety issue. Plumbing next, then probably the floor if it's structural. If it's just replacing floor coverings, do that last.
1.00I remodeled my bath 20 days ago now I have a broken flange. What caused the breakage and how can I repair it?
Q.It looks as though the screw broke the flange. But I am not sure. I would like to know what caused the break so that I may correct it. Also, the caulking around the base of the bowl was not level--one side has a thick layer of caulking while the other side is very thin and shallow. Please help!
A.Must have been plastic. You should be able to get a repair for the collar at your plumbing supply house. The wax is un-level either because it was improperly installed or the closet flange sits higher on 1 side than the other.

Plumbing Repair
Everyone knows that sinking feeling you get as you watch a toilet bowl begin to overflow, or your shower drain spouting out water instead of draining it. Plumbing repair problems are enough to send the most placid home owner into a panic. Here are a few tips to conduct emergency plumbing repairs yourself as you wait for the plumber to arrive. The most common home plumbing repair problems have to do with faucet repair. For basic bathroom faucet repair, first turn off the water supply to the faucet, and unscrew the main faucet. Remember to place the components as you remove them in an ordered fashion, so you can place these in the right order when you assemble the faucet back again. If any parts are damaged, get these replaced by taking the removed part to the store so you can get a perfect match.
To unclog your bathroom shower drain, first remove the strainer cover by using a screw driver. Using a flash light, look for any visible signs of blockage, and if you see one, use a straightened hanger to fish out the blockage. If this doesn't work, plumbing a small plunger about 20 times can dislodge the obstruction. Keep plunging until the abstraction has been sucked out near enough for you to see it. Then, use a hanger to fish the clog out. Toilet repairs are among the most dreaded home plumbing repairs to attempt. To fix an overflowing toilet, use a plunger to dislodge the clog. Do the same for a clogged toilet, and plunge at least 15 to 20 times. After every plunging session, pour some water into the toilet, and see if the clog is washed away. Remember, plunging doesn't always work immediately, and you might have to plunge a few times to see any results.
