Okay I know nothing about plumbing, but you do. I am in the process of purchasing a home - 85 years old. The plumbing was updated to copper pipes, etc many years ago.
The inspector has written this - "The kitchen sink is not vented properly and needs repair. The main floor tub drain is not vented nor draining properly due to the waste line being connected to the vent line in the downstairs (basement) bathroom. The water supply piping at the water heater is reversed. The supply line valve under the kitchen sink is leaking and in need of repair."
So I am wondering - any "ball park" estimates on how much it would cost to get these things fixed. Would my handy (but out of town right now) husband be able to fix them. Do I need a plumber?
If you can help that weould be great! Have a wonderful day - the weekend is on it's way!
