What makes a repair cost what it does
Ranges are a starting point. Here's what moves the number.
- Access: pipes inside finished walls or under slabs take more labor.
- Parts: common parts are quick; specialty parts take longer.
- Timing: nights, weekends and peak season can add to the bill.
- Size and condition: bigger homes, older systems and hidden damage add work.
- Where you live: local labor rates differ a lot.
