I got a quote to install a sewer cleanout on the parsonage I oversee that seems a bit steep. This is from the property manager that doesnt always seem to find the best cost for us. And what makes it worse, is they tend to sit on it until it reaches emergency state, so that our policy of at least 2 bids isnt practical because we dont have time to wait.
The house is having drainage issues. Its an ongoing issue on a house built in the 70s. They said they are confident the septic is fine, but they suspect the clogs are due to broken pipes under the slab. But they dont know for sure until they install a cleanout beside the house so they can snake/scope it.
So the plumbers among us. what would you say is a reasonable cost to dig up the sewer main next to a house and install a cleanout?
