Repair or Replace?

A main breaks, you dig it up, you patch it, and eight months later you are back in the same hole. At some point the patching costs more than the pipe. This puts a number on where that point sits for one line, using the repair history you already have.

Enter what the last few repairs cost, what a replacement would run, and how much longer new pipe would last. You get a break-even figure and a one-page verdict you can print and hand to a council. No account, no signup, nothing to pay.

The verdict is the start of a conversation, not a permit. Inside ten percent either way the tool says the call is on the line, because at that margin the decision turns on things a calculator does not know: whether the street is already open, whether the pipe runs under a school, whether the money exists this budget year.
