Strega 0 Posted September 9, 2009 Anyone know of a good plumber in Orange County? Maybe one of the OC Dualies is a plumber? My dad needs some sewer work done and is getting RIDICULOUS estimates. Thanks for any help you can provide. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bikeslut 1 Posted September 9, 2009 No disrespect to plumbers...when I had a sewer break at my north park house, I had a guy come out with a sewer camera.... 300 bucks later he says the break is "right here" So I got a bid from a reputable plumber...$7000!!!! So I pulled out a shovel and started digging...camera boy was off by 3 feet... I went to Home Depot...bought a saw, some pipe and a fitting...$150...good as new Now granted; I didn't follow any code or what-not, but I followed what we always said...righty tighty, crap flows downhill and payday is Friday...

You are my kind of man Bob. Nothing wrong with getting your hands dirty. I maintain seven houses and do everything myself. It is all a matter of ATTITUDE! I am planning on writing a book when I retire titled "Zen and the ART of Septic Maintenance". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paul 0 Posted September 9, 2009 A Plumber came out to a Doctor's home and did about 15 minutes of work. He gave the bill to the Dr. and the Doctor said " I'm a Doctor and I can't even charge that much" to which the Plumber replied " I couldn't charge that much when I was Doctor either" One of my Dad's jokes. I may have a contact for you - let me make a call and I'll PM you the info. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
