Water Line Repairs

If you are moving and the house you are looking at is older, say thirty to fifty years old, you;d better have the sewer and water lines checked. If a sewer repair have to be made, it is common for them to coat $6000 to $15,000. And that is for something that is out of site, out of mind. Call on a licensed plumber and pay him well to check things well. Now short cuts here.

Repipe Problems

Beware that if you move from one city to another, the other may have problems that only that area is experiencing. In Atlanta, it is polybutylene piping and in Las Vegas it is Kitec piping. In both cases, the problems were litigated and a class action steelement was leved. But that is no guarantee that repairs, on in these cases, repiping was done. The best way to find out is search the internet for lawsuits and ask plumbing contractors in the new area what thay know. Home inspectors should be up to date as well. Usually banks will not allow closings until it is verified that these defective products are not in the home. Repiping is expensive and disruptive.
