- Slab access. Rerouting overhead and opening the floor are priced differently.
- Old pipe. Galvanized lines rarely take a clean patch.
- Finding the problem. Leak locating and camera inspections are separate steps, but they keep the repair itself small.
- Time of day. Many companies charge an after-hours, weekend or holiday fee.
- Ask for the arrival fee before the plumber heads out, and for the repair price in writing before work starts.
