Thanks Al, Hind sight is 20/20 right? I will remember to do that in the future.BigAl52 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 25, 2023 11:46 pmSorry for all the issues Mark hope it all works out and isnt to terrible on the pocketbook. 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.
Spring has sprung. Get out and shoot your Henry

Re: Water/No Water
720’ of galvanized pipe, that’s got to be a load. Maybe a bit inappropriate but the old expression “when it rains it pours” certainly applies to your situation right now. As Dave said, the cost of labor probably will trump the cost of the pump.

Re: Water/No Water
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.
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. 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.

Re: Water/No Water
Also sorry to hear of all your problems, sometimes when it rains, it pours.
When we leave the house now, we have been shutting all the water off. That way there is no chance of anything happening. We also have an Icemaker, but once I saw that flimsy hose that came with it, I said forget it. We'll make our own ice, lol. Same thing with our new dryer. It came with some kind of steam feature. Flimsy hose again. I don't need anything starting to leak while we're sleeping or out in the yard somewhere. If the Fridge (spare) or Dryer was in the basement with a sump pump I wouldn't mind, but right now they are both on the main floor.
Just my 2 Cents, lol.

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.

Re: Water/No Water
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?

No p/u truck could carry 20' long pipes, especially as heavy and long as they are. Hoping the local "hauler guy" comes tomorrow.

Re: Water/No Water
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...

Re: Water/No Water
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.

Re: Water/No Water
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.
