Why this matters
Plumbing jobs often uncover things you cannot see at the start. That means hidden damage, failed shutoffs, code issues, and access problems can change the job fast.
Common questions
What should a plumbing quote include?
It should say what the plumber is doing and what is not included.
Should drywall and tile repairs be included?
Only if you mean to include them. Most of the time, they should be listed separately.
How do I write a hidden conditions clause?
Say that concealed damage, code issues, or access problems will be priced separately if they appear.

How scoring works
The tool scores cable size against pipe size first, then adjusts for blockage type, access quality, run length, bends, pipe material, and machine strength. Poor access or weak equipment can drag a technically valid cable choice into a risky setup.
Quick reference
This table is a simplified field guide for common starting points. Actual jobs can move up or down based on access, machine strength, roots, and pipe condition.
| Typical line | Common pipe size | Starting cable | Best access | Watch-out |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lav / tub branch | 1 1/4 in to 2 in | 1/4 in to 5/16 in | Trap arm | Hair and tight bends can bind small cable. |
| Kitchen branch | 1 1/2 in to 2 in | 5/16 in to 3/8 in | 2 in cleanout | Grease often needs repeat passes or jetting. |
| Toilet branch | 3 in | 3/8 in to 1/2 in | Pulled toilet / 3 in cleanout | Bad wipes stoppages can overpower light drums. |
| Main building drain | 3 in to 4 in | 1/2 in to 5/8 in | Full-size cleanout | Roots and scale often justify camera follow-up. |
| Main sewer | 4 in to 6 in | 5/8 in to 3/4 in | Outside full-size cleanout | Fragile clay or Orangeburg calls for caution. |
