Tunneling repair or busting through the slab? I thought tunneling was about 1/2 of that amount in the New Orleans area

i got an estimate this week:
2 Pilot Holes at $300 each
Tunnel at $100 a ft
Pipe change out at 10 a ft
Stainless steel hangers at $20 each

a 50’ repair was right at $7k

Is this for residential? Do you have any attic/ crawl space at all? If so you can likely re run with Pex. My parents had their entire house re run with Pex for $400/ fixture plus the cost of drywall repair. They brought 5 plumbers over and knocked it all mostly out in one evening from about 4-10pm.

Was going to ask this as well. I had to repipe some copper, in a downstairs bathroom on slab. Pex was way cheaper and an awesome option. I also had a manifold installed, so each fixture has a shutoff.

I read his question to be about gravity drain lines and not pressurized water lines.

This would be for tunneling to repair area that has root growth in pipe. Luckily it is only 15 ft or less. Quote was $500 for hole then $3250 which seems high based on what y’all are saying. Problem is I don’t have it mapped out or anything so when I call other places they don’t want to quote anything unless they do video inspection first. I don’t want to pay for another inspection then get the same quote

Who was that through if you don’t mind me asking? I’m in Mandeville so hopefully they would come this way

4" pipe? Have you looked into relining/repairing the pipe with an epoxy liner? Youtube has some videos how it's done without tearing up the slab.
