Friends,
I'm getting ready to contract some work at my mother-in-law's place and had a couple of questions to get me in the ballpark.
1) Her water main is about 900' of 20-25 year old PVC with at least 5 patches. I'd like to have a new water line run. Any idea on best material and possible total cost? I've read that the standard for many years has been black poly (the best grade one can afford). Of note, the house is in East Tx.
2) She has 3 bathrooms and 2 of the toilets aren't working so well since they don't get used regularly. Also, I imagine the ones she has are budget grade.
Is it a smart idea to simply replace the whole toilet or should I try to replace parts on the existing toilets? She's already had the plumber out several times. Also, I've discussed that if we put new toilets in that she needs to try to use them with equal frequency (i.e. rotating through to keep them working well).
Thanks for any advice!
