re: Replacing old cast iron drain pipes

started with a washer drain line backfilling. this is the drain line for the washer, dishwasher and sink, that all come together and ties into the rest of the plumbing in the house. I looked at the disclosure docs from the closing and it looks like a good portion was replaced on the side of the house with the showers and toilets along with the sewer main connecting to the city. We sent a snake down there a day or two later after not using the washer, dish washer or sink and discovered the bottom of these pipes were completely gone.
The plumber cut a section of the patio out and hired some guys that do specifically this. They have tunneled under the slab ~20' found more bad pipe and have tunneled from a different area without breaking and concrete another ~20'
It's all got to go. If I leave it alone at this point its just going to get worse,

All that tunneling is the brunt of the expense of a job like this. I hope they can get you sorted out soon.
I'm 71 and know I'm not in any shape to do that if it ever needs to be done at my house since my soil is almost 100% clay. I'd have a heart attack trying to dig through that crap.
