Hi all,
I have broken sewer pipe at my investment property. At the moment the problem has been fixed temporarily by the PM's plumber. I've asked the very same plumbers to provide a quote to fixed the problem permanently and they have responded back that they will need $30 to obtain sewer drainage plans and another $99 to provide a report/quote. He also mentioned a similar job down the road costs $4000 to fix.
I find it odd that I have to pay for a quote. Has anyone had a tradie ask you to pay for a quote before? Is this typical of jobs of this size?
