I'm helping a friend resolve a cast iron sewer line problem under a concrete slab. One company has quoted $24,000 and another company $30,000 to epoxy/fiberglass line 125 feet of 4 inch pipe.
I've never worked with this stuff before. Both bidders seem to think it's a two day job for two men. I roughly calculated it will take 15-20 gallons of epoxy, plus the fiberglass sleeve.
High pressure water and a rotorooter-type machine is used to pre-clean the old pipe.
Allowing $4,000 for material, $1,600 labor, $1,000 wear and tear on the support equipment and incidental stuff...$24,000???????? Am I in the wrong business?????
Was wondering if any of you have experience with this type product, and what are your thoughts on the pricing?
