Any advice out there for discrepancy between general and plumber?
The long and the short - we finished the whole house: Repipe w/ aquapex. Gave them a not to exceed number and it came to within $200.00 of estimate - plumber advised general to replace 15 feet of cast-iron sewer line. General wasn't sold on that idea. Four days later while general was digging water line trench, he broke sewer line. Plumber replaced, time and materials with the small area to work in, trench already cut, tractor in close quarters, it took 6.5 hours, water line, sewer lateral. Billed general for work on sewer line. $385 in labor + materials. General is upset - is plumber out of line?
