Default Cost to move Hot water tank

In article , car crash wrote:
I am going to finish my basement and in short I'm going to have to
move my hot water tank about 10 feet so I can finish that part of the
basement. How much should it cost me to have a plumber come in here
and move the hot water tank, disconnect th gas and the ABS pipe and
the electrical and all that and reconnect everything ? I'm in Ottawa,
Canada.


I reckon you're looking at 1-2 days labor plus parts plus permits
and taxes. You'll probably need an electrician on top of that.

I agree with other posters; replace the heater unless it's in
fairly pristine condition and add a drip tray (maybe with alarm).
