I have an estimate from a waterproofing contractor wherein it is indicated that the drain tile is believed to be clogged, resulting in 3 water leaks in the basement of a home. It is also written on the estimate "hand cable drain tile $150.00, and a note about a cleanout." The estimate then goes on to propose replacement of the drain tiles bla, bla, bla, and an overall price of $2,500.00. Three weeks later, I have another estimate from the same waterproofer, outlining the same work, estimate sheets appear identical except for the date, now with a price of $5,000. The parties have no knowledge that I possess the 1st estimate. Here's the Q. Can the drain tile be cabled in an attempt to cure the problem? Is that a regular thing that is done? As I see it, its like a clogged drain, it can potentially be snaked to fix, or you can estimate and pay thousands to have all the lines dug up and replaced? At this point, no attempts to cable drain tile have been made.
