There has got to be an easy way to do this that should not cost me $650! Personally I think this plumbing company should come fix my line for free or the minimum service charge - have you ever heard of such an outrageous cost to repair a line and yet it still does not work? (they are in a recessed box directly behind the washer and it is on the same wall that the refrigerator backs up to.) Could a plumber do this for a fairly cheap rate? Can I run a line and tap into the cold water line that runs to the washing machine.

My refrigerator backs up to the wall of my laundry room. I am sure I can do this myself and wanted to know if this sounds doable. I was livid.I already had paid $600 for these lame patches - why?Īnyway, here it is a year later and I am sick of not having ice. Then I was told that it was against current code the way it was tapped into the main water line and that they could not replace the entire line without bringing it up to code and that would be $600-$650 dollars. They came out and patched that for another $300. The next week a new leak sprung from the same line close to the water heater. ($300) Four days later that patch was leaking. (of course, the line had to run above the one and only spot that had sheet rock!) They came out and accessed the situation and patched the leak with a coupling thing. Well, I first discovered it was leaking when the sheet rock on the basement ceiling collapsed. It then is run along some metal studs and it is tapped into the water line that goes into the hot water heater.


My line is 'plastic' or PVC (it's clear and looks like plastic? I don't know?) and runs through the back wall and then down into the basement through the floor. They tell me for another $650 they can replace the entire line up to code! Why they did not say this at the start I don't get, but I am done with them for any further plumbing issues. I have spent over $600 for 3 visits from the same plumbing company and still no working line. I have not had a water line for my refrigerator for almost 1 year.
