We have a slab home and one of our sinks drain is completely stopped up. The plumber tried to snake it out and failed. He said he found mud when he pulled the snake back out, and thinks that the iron pipe probably rotted through. However none of the other drains in the house seem to have any problems. He will return with a camera to check it out for certain on Monday (no additional charge)
*IF* the pipe is rotted out, he suggests tunneling under the slab to replace the damaged pipe - and considering the age of the house (1962), he suggests replacing all of the iron pipe with PVC all the way to the sewer main. Furthermore he suggests running the new line around the house rather than under it in order to minimize a chance of foundation problems due to excessive tunneling.
What do you think of his proposed solution, and how much should such a repair cost?
Its expensive , but if the pipe has collapsed you will have to do some thing. more trouble is on the way. I would go around house too, but not because of excess tunneling; that's a bit anal!
Its cheaper in the long run to do. If you know and trust this guy ; fine. If you don;t , get another opinion!
