just had our entire sewer line replaced from the wall outside bathroom to the city sewer line due to roots growing into the pipe. 4k and that was about 150 feet of pipe so yea 10k is insane

It was for literally a bathroom drain line around the corner of a house and tied into the main drain to the septic tank. Ten fricking grand. That was JUST the drain work, not anything else to do with the bathroom project. It would have taken a half hour behind a rented ditch witch and maybe $100 in pipe and fittings. The owners decided to scrap the plans to add another bathroom to the house. Chip seemed perfectly fine with it, though.
