What drives the price
Two jobs that sound the same can price very differently. Access, urgency, permits, parts, and the condition of the existing system do most of the work. Greenville and the Upstate run a bit below national pricing, so these ranges already lean local.
When to call a pro
Repeated leaks in different spots, discolored water, or old polybutylene or galvanized pipe usually mean a full repipe beats another round of patches.
