so for the 450' long line I have $550 was the initial cost of 3 hours, then $195/hr after that. Guy only needed to check the first 20 feet of water line. Ha!

Found and fixed the water line leak to the house - it just happened to be under the driveway - Timtheguru 2017-09-22 10:04:43 (435 views)
- This is your main water line to your house? - 5speed6 2017-09-23 02:45:02 (274 views)
  - Yeah, me too! Sorry to jinx your buddy. :P - Timtheguru 2017-09-25 12:34:16 (136 views)
- That is not a permanent repair, especially one that is buried and made inaccessible. - freakness 2017-09-22 13:27:30 (172 views)
  - I suppose it was there for 40 years with a shitty worm drive clamp. - Timtheguru 2017-09-22 13:45:36 (227 views)
    - Time to abandon the line and install a new one. - freakness 2017-09-22 15:07:53 (321 views)
      - I found a roll of 500 feet, maybe in 40 years. - Timtheguru 2017-09-22 15:35:01 (236 views)
  - Yeah - I'd much rather see a brass or stainless compression coupling (with tube inserts) - gription 2017-09-22 13:42:24 (224 views)
    - That PE line works fine, but having splices anywhere in a run is best avoided if it is going to... - pilot345 2017-09-27 12:18:28 (178 views)
