Hi all,
I also posted this in the roofing section.
I have a leak in my three season porch. Unfortunately, the previous owners left the soil pipe in the valley of the roof when adding the porch. I had a plumber come to give me an estimate on moving the soil pipe. After going in my attic, he said it would be best to move the soil pipe by going through the wall in my kitchen (which adjoins to the porch). He quoted me at 675.
My cousin, who is a construction guy, said he thinks they are not going through the attic because it's more work, and he doesn't agree with their cost estimate (which includes moving the pipe, putting a new boot on, and repatching the drywall of the kitchen.
Is it wrong to go through the wall? Am I being robbed? Any info would be appreciated!
