Underground water pipe

Question

How much is it likely to cost to repair a underground water pipe ?

Brendan · Accepted Answer

Difficult to say, do you know where the leak is? is it outside? is it under concrete? Is it flagged? Or is it soil? How deep is it? Regs say mains water should be around 750mm deep.. I would say atleast £400+ parts if its not concreted or flagged..

Lisandro · Answer

Does depend of the work needed, without a view is a bit impossible to give it a right price.

Vilem · Answer

I would say between £80-£120
This would include digging, re-piping, and covering and materials.

Anything above that would be considered using a digger ( depending how deep and what surface you’re working with.

Bradley · Answer

It all depends if it’s on your land or not. If it is you can get someone for a few 100 or contact local water board and they will assist you to go through insurance

Stefan · Answer

Almost  300 - 400 £ with materials and Labour and half a day of work

Dean · Answer

Depending on wat is above dirt level but I would tell the customer after I've assessed the leak in person because it is impossible to say with out seeing the ground

Herbert · Answer

The cost of an underground water pipe can only be known when excavation of the old pipe has been done. When you have done that you will be able to assess if the pipe needs to be changed all or part of the pipe. This is always depending on the owner of the house and the length of the pipe. Therefore avoid giving cost of such jobs before you see the pipes which need to be changed to avoid overcharging or undercharged.

Daniel · Answer

Hi there , depending on the ground, how many meters , if it's a old lead , or iron pipe , it might be worth renewing the whole length between water meter and internal stop cock . 
The cheapest way would be to dig yourself and get a plumber in to do final connections, 
If it's just a leak on a bit of blue MDPE pipe that is pierced, it is a quite a cheap easy fix.. 
The positive thing about leaky pipes in the ground, the water makes digging in so much easier.

Sam · Answer

Would really depend on the following but £150+ depending if you have found the leak, is it exposed so plumber can do the repair, or does he need to dig the ground up or dig the hole for get access to the leak and do his repair
