One thing I always do when I leave my house for a period of time is turn off the water to the washer and turn off the ice maker line on the fridge. Dont need any water running upstairs with a basement.
Exactly right Hatch. The pump was a 2 wire 1.5 hp and the cost was right around $1600.00. The rest was labor which was about $2000.00. Actually better than we were expecting. They got here at about 9:00 AM and finished at about 1:00 PM. Pretty fast work. They DID know what they were doing.
I was able to contact through local referral, a guy who is going to come by tomorrow afternoon to haul it away...whew! Don't yet know how much $$ he will want.Also sorry to hear of all your problems, sometimes when it rains, it pours.
Do you have a pick-up? You could haul it to the scrap yard and make a few bucks.markiver54 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 26, 2023 8:17 pmI was able to contact through local referral, a guy who is going to come by tomorrow afternoon to haul it away...whew! Don't yet know how much $$ he will want.
Curious what kind of new pipe they used to replace the old?markiver54 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 26, 2023 8:17 pm...
The bad part is that they left over 700 ft of heavy galvanized pipe in the driveway. Said they could not take it because they had nowhere to put it back at their shop.
Yes, I called the local metal recycler. They said they would give $7.00 per 100 ft. I wasn't interested in the money. I just want it out of here. They said they would take it but would not pick it up.Cowboy Gun Fan wrote: ↑Tue Sep 26, 2023 8:58 pmDo you have a pick-up?

They replaced the galvanized with some new grade of PVC rated for that depth. He said, THEY only use galvanized for over 800' depth.Mags wrote: ↑Tue Sep 26, 2023 9:40 pmCurious what kind of new pipe they used to replace the old?markiver54 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 26, 2023 8:17 pm...

That's not nearly as bad as I was expecting. I was thinking more like 5 to 10 grand. Did that include the cost of the new pipe?markiver54 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 26, 2023 8:17 pmExactly right Hatch.

That's about what we were expecting too, so the price was a relief. It occurred to me after I posted though that it was a verbal quote from the installer, and I don't yet know how much was the cost of the PVC pipe. he said his secretary would be emailing a receipt. Hopefully it will have itemized pricing. After we receive that, I will post again. Hopefully no surprises.dave77 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 27, 2023 2:24 amThat's not nearly as bad as I was expecting.
