I would think that would have been pretty expensive if a plumber was called. It would actually leak out from under the commode when you flushed it. When the commode was pulled you could see where the lead pipe was split. The cheapest estimate he got was $800. I asked him why he was getting estimates. Lol. This cost about $200 with the biggest expense being the blade he had to buy for the rented concrete saw. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceptorman Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 I'm watching the Rock and Roll HOF 2018 show. First up was The Cars, they played 3 songs, I didn't know Ben Orr passed away. Dire Straits was next, Mark Knopfler wasn't there, and they did not play....kind of a bummer. I doubt I'll stay up to watch Bon Jovi. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those blades are not cheap but it's alot easier than trying to drill a bunch of holes and chipping it out or other crazy ways. $800 doesn't surprise me, but this way you know it's fixed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billybob Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Like a good polka. Mom loved to watch Lawrence and sometimes she liked to hear my music. The Young&The Restless and Marty Robbins, Grand Ole Opry, Nashville Now and all Wrestling. Had a big dish and she derived great benefit from it. One day the cable guy hung a sign that cable was available now. I made a paper airplane and sent it back to him... Still watch other while listening...cool man... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a note for anyone ever having to do a similar repair. You can cut the pipe flush with the ground if you're using vinyl or something similarly thin. If you're going back with ceramic tile you need to cut the pipe above the concrete the same height as the thickness as the tile with mortar will be. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
