The personal savings on the expense of labor, if you do it yourself, will be about fifty - 60% of the total price of a contractor performing the occupation. The very first factor in deciding whether or not to try performing it by yourself is how deep the nicely is and do you have a huge enough lay down region to layout the pipe in your yard when you start off pulling it out of the casing.
