Cost Of Putting in a Toilet waste pipe

SquirrelJ

I have a saniflow toilet in my house at the moment and the waste pipe is about an inch in diameter. I am removing this and putting in a 4 inch diameter waste pipe. The plumber says he will put the pipe in fo rme but i will need a builder to connect the pipe to the drain. Its about a 15 foot drop to the drain from where the pipe will come out.

How much should this be???

The waste pipe must be connected to the sewer (not drains) It will involve digging a trench from house to inspection cover, provided this is a straight line and the sewer has a spare inlet point it should not be too expensive. However if the pipe needs to turn a corner some kind of access will be needed at the angle. The only real advice is to get at least 3 quotes.

The current pipe goes down into a drain with a manhole cover I think that is the sewer. So it should just be making the current hole bigger shouldn't it???

I would lift the cover and see the arrangement of pipes down there. there needs to be an access into the sewer to take a 4" pipe.
