• Faucet installation cost$150 to $500eachInstalling a faucet costs $150 to $500 including a mid-range fixture, typically $280. It is one of the few plumbing jobs where the cost is dominated by how awkward the space under the sink is.
• Shower installation cost$1,500 to $8,000per projectInstalling a shower costs $1,500 to $8,000, typically $3,500. A tiled shower is a waterproofing project with tile stuck to it, and the waterproofing is where almost all failures come from.
• Garbage disposal installation cost$150 to $600eachInstalling a garbage disposal costs $150 to $600 including the unit, typically $300. It goes up when there is no switch or socket under the sink, because then it is an electrician's job too.
• Water softener cost$800 to $3,500per projectA water softener costs $800 to $3,500 installed, typically $1,800. Before spending anything, test your hardness. Below about 7 grains a softener solves a problem you do not have.
• Sewer line inspection cost$150 to $600eachA sewer camera inspection costs $150 to $600, typically $300. It is the best $300 anyone spends before buying an older house, and standard home inspections do not include it.
• Water main replacement cost$1,500 to $6,000per projectReplacing the water main into a house costs $1,500 to $6,000, typically $3,000. Under a lawn it is the bottom of that range. Under a driveway and a sidewalk it is the top.
• Gas line installation cost$15 to $40per linear ftRunning a gas line costs $15 to $40 a linear foot, with most household jobs between $300 and $1,200. The most common reason people need one is a tankless water heater, which draws four times what a tank does.
• Septic tank pumping cost$300 to $700eachPumping a septic tank costs $300 to $700, typically $450. It is the cheapest maintenance in the house measured against what it prevents: a failed drain field is $8,000 to $25,000.
• Well pump replacement cost$900 to $4,500per projectReplacing a well pump costs $900 to $4,500, typically $2,000. Most of the difference is depth rather than the pump. Diagnose first: a $400 pressure tank fails far more often than the pump does.
• Hot water recirculation pump cost$300 to $1,200eachA recirculation pump costs $300 to $1,200 installed, typically $600. Run continuously it turns a water-saving device into an energy-wasting one, so the control matters more than the pump.
