How Much does it Cost to Fix a Broken Pipe Under the House?

Unfortunately, there really isn’t one set answer. The reason that a plumbing company can’t estimate how much it will cost to repair a broken pipe under a house is because there are so many factors to consider. Whether the house has a basement or is built on a slab will factor into the cost. Where the pipe is under the house will factor into the cost. What kind of pipe it is will factor into the cost. The extent of the break will factor into the cost. What else is around (landscaping, other houses or buildings, sidewalks, etc.) will factor into the cost. How much damage has already resulted will factor into the cost. The result is a huge range of possible costs.

For instance, homeowners with a slab leak may end up paying tens of thousands of dollars to get the problem fixed by the time the slab is cut, pipes are replaced, the slab is reinstated, and the home is repaired. Of course, if you have a leak under your house, you don’t have much choice because if left unchecked a broken pipe under a home can cause major structural problems, potentially leading to collapse.

If you suspect that you have a broken pipe under your house, call a licensed plumber right away to get the problem diagnosed and a plan made to fix it as quickly as possible. The future of your home and the safety of your family depends on it!
