In a 2 gallon expansion tank, I think the max psi is 80 psi. With all the charges, I honestly don’t think it’s a bad price. I get a lot of customers complain all the time “it’s too high, omg that’s robbery”. I would suggest to the customer to find a 1 man show and maybe it’ll be cheaper. Trying...

I’m in Denver and my company would charge roughly $800. That’s with no drywall involved.

Since you already have pex right there, might be easier to install this. Either or would be ok

I also don’t know how any poo or tissues gonna flow down that. That’s a back up waiting to happen

Lol was that really an inspector that passed it or a friend?

That’s correct and the city wanted a reduced pressure backflow.

Frodo is correct. I installed a backflow device last night and galvanize through the whole building. Iron ductile coming in. Discharge line kept leaking. All I could do is suggest a repipe. It’ll continue to happen.

I was recently at a house in highlands ranch Colorado, psi to the house is 120. Wow! Anyways the guy needed new shutoffs under a sink. He ended up doing it himself. I quoted him $399.00 for a prv, and 99$ each shut off. He refused, used shark bites, and called back and the shark bites blew off...

Change your shut offs bro

FYI they have j hooks at Home Depot. I purchased them last week for a job.

I could be wrong, this looks like a moen. Anyways start unscrewing what I circled and you should be good. Might be a little difficult due to the rust up top. Good luck

That’s a drum trap you have under ground. Basically that sink is being doubled ptrapped. I would excavate that out. In case you put another sink there in the future, I would take the drum trap out and repipe.

That’s definitely a trap primer

Is that only backing up when you drain the washer? Kitchen and laundry could tie in with each other. Usually if you have that much sludge I’m pretty sure that floor drain also ties in with the kitchen drain. Does it back up when you use the kitchen? Just the washer?

I agree with what the plumber wanted to do. Yes it’s a lot of money. From my end I deal with this all the time. Unfortunately you do have roots. You could do preventative maintenance for a while. However there is a separation from pvc to clay. That separation will only get worst. That’s until...

I wouldn’t remove it if it was mine. Just from the look of it. How old is the tank?

Now that I look at your picture more, is that reducers in there? Is that coming from 1 inch to a 3/4 prv back to 1 inch?

I believe it’s a Watts I installed a different set up. You can use those same unions. They have them at Home Depot for $66 I think. I could be wrong

I would flush your tankless as well. When was the last time it was serviced?

You will probably run into issues trying to take that out from the front side. Is that cpvc? Is it pvc threaded into brass? Just like CT18 said, I would cut from the back side and replace it. You might have to anyway.
