Well, I could do the stuff for 50 dollars in parts.
You could too. A 3" pipe to receive the washer discharge,
deliver to existing sewer pipe or floor drain. For $20 you could
rent a hammer drill and cut a line in your basement floor for
a drain extension.
You could cut and extend those lines, whatever they are. Or
double the supply line lengths.
If copper, I prefer Copper-Bond for the connections, rather than a
solder job, and I did it the other way for over a quarter century.
If plastic pipe, the materials cost is extremely low.
Black pipe for gas line extension is cheap. Or a longer flexline.
Well, you get the idea. Either learn how to do these things, or
be ready for the 'ouch' when someone gives you the price.

Hello Everyone!

I have a plumber coming over in the morning to quote some work -

1) I need washer supply lines runs moved/run. The new location for the
washer is about 5 feet from the old location.

2) I also need the drain extended to reach the new location.

3) Finally, I need a gas line run about 3 feet for the dryer.

I've been reading nothing but horror stories on this and many other
forums about plumbers ripping people off, seems like the only one
defending plumbers are other plumbers. I'm a relatively new home owner
- so I wouldn't know.

Can someone give me an idea as to the price range for the work I need
done? If they plumber says $50 I'd be very surprised - if he says
$2,000 I'll leave the damn washer where it is!

Any info would be great!

Thanks,
Jay

What is copper bond???
