UPDATE: The job has been completed. Thanks to everyone who contacted me. Come back there may be additional jobs in the weeks to come.
Finished pictures are at the bottom.
I have a problem that requires help from a person good at fixing things, or more likely a plumber of some sort.
There is an old water system attached to my house that has PVC pipe that started leaking over the weekend. I would like to have this system taken out of the loop, and just have water coming into the house without this old system as a go between. Please look at the pictures for reference to what I am talking about. I am interested in taking bids to get this job hired out. Please contact me with your expected labor costs for this job. Also either let me know if your price includes parts (pvc pipe) or if not what additional cost you expect. The lowest price may not get the job. I am hoping to be convinced that the right person for the job has done work like this before and has the credentials to complete the work.
I look forward to hearing from you. Let me know what you would charge me and when you would be able to do the work.
Thanks!
Keith

My name is Randy ,I am a plumber by trade and I would like to be considered for the removal job.I dont think it would be a problem to take it out and cap the pipes.It shouldnt take long to decide on the best way to reroute around it. I think 50$ is fair plus materials.
I can fix this for you. Pretty easy. I am a ships engineet and own multiple rental properies. I have never had to call a plumber for anything. Give me a call at 352-467-****. Would charge $70-$100 dollars. Depends on any other unforseen problems pop up. from the looks of it $70
Sorry, misspelled ships engineer. That means if it is on a ship, you fix it if it breaks. I can do this. call me asap. 352-467-****. Tony. Thanks

it looks like we will need a couple couplings and some 1/2 copper pipe it would be around 85 to 150 can do tommorow 727 599 ****
We can complete job in approx 2hrs at a cost of $225 total. Including copper loop and disposal of softner unit. LIC# cfc1427092 located in St Pete 727-729-****. http://www.plumbcrazyplumbers.com/images/plumber-header.jpg
More customers should contract work like this. The pictures tell everything and at the very least you saved our time and gas. It is very funny to read my competition! I don’t think you are on a ship, that softner is connected with 3/4 inch pipe not 1/2 inch, and the copper lines do not get capped off.
OH, and $350 for an unlicensed plumber/handyman is the best one!
We are available 24/7!
