We have about 20 feet of cast iron drain pipe under a finished basement that we are considering replacing.
We have had a video done of the pipe in the past - the pipe is corrugated, tends to collect debris and needs to be cleaned out frequently.
Rather than replacing the existing pipe - we are thinking to put in new pipe (see diagram) that will require less turns. Only the last 3-6 feet of cast iron pipe would actually need to be removed.
Job #1
- remove the baseboard, laminate flooring and cork underlay
- prep the area for plumbing work (see Job #2 below)
- after Job #2 done, replace the concrete that was ripped out
- replace the cork underlay, laminate flooring and baseboards
- clean up
Job #2
- I have a quote for this already from a plumbing company
- jackhammer concrete floor - approximately 20 feet - as per diagram
- dig down 1 to 2 feet
- install new drain pipe for about 20 feet
- connect new pipe at one end near drain by furnace (see photo)
- connect new pipe at other end to outlet from building
- will encounter cast iron pipe at outlet, will need to remove a portion
- remainder of cast iron takes a slightly different path and can be left (advise on that welcome)
Job #3
- replace existing 40 gallon water heater
- I also have a quote for this from a plumbing company
As mentioned, I already have quotes for Job #2 and Job #3 but I would consider somebody who is interested in doing all 3 - as long as they are qualified to do so of course.
I need a licensed plumber to install a new tub (standard 60" x 30" soaker tub) while the bathroom is already being renovated due to leaky plumbing. The job has to be done within the next couple of days before the contractor comes in to do the drywall and tiling. The water delivery plumbing would have to be moved up but is being handled by a different plumber. Your job would be to a) remove & dispose the old tub, b) install the new tub to city specs, and c) modify the location of the overflow to raise it to match the new tub height. The drywall has been removed and the tub sits open to the exposed studs and the dry wall has been removed on the other side of the studs around the tub area allowing full access of the tub on both sides of the wall where the tub sits...pictures available upon request.
Please respond with an estimated cost (I have purchased the bathub already from Home Depot and have the specs) and only if you are qualified to do the job. References are required as well.
This is for a small tenant improvement project for a restaurant in Vancouver. Looking at 3 other similar projects later in the year.
Kindly provide a detailed quote for supply and install (excluding actual appliances, tanks, sinks, equipment, etc.)
Existing setup contains one installed bathroom and one additional sink.
Must be licensed. Work requires final sign-off from City inspector. Contact me for any questions.
We are looking for a professional tiler and plumber to do a tub surround and floor in one bathroom (7'115'4) and the floor of another small bathroom (5'9x5'8) ASAP. The existing floor is linoleum in both bathrooms. No pipes are moving, only faucets to install for the new tub and vanities. Also, in late November, after the kitchen installation, a backsplash. Our strata requires some info before approving our reno, so we need someone who can provide a business licence number, WCB, insurance and building permits as early as possible.
Thank you
Tanya
Front lawn water main line into house leaks, confirmed by city of Vancouver. Its the home owner's responsibility !
House is old, the pipe in front lawn should be replace. The pipe under the ground into the house with the shut off valve should also replace at this time. The grass in front lawn are one month old, drainage contractor must preserved the lawn condition to its original shape and stage after his works are done
Landscaper / concrete contractor
