An underground pipe replacement may cost tens of thousands \u2014 and once you own the home, it\u2019s your responsibility.<\/p>\n<p>Some buyers accept a seller credit, planning to handle the work later. But remember: estimates are not guarantees. Hidden conditions can increase the cast iron pipe replacement cost once excavation begins. If you go this route, negotiate extra room in case costs rise.<\/p>\n<p>The safest move is having the work addressed before closing with a permitted cast iron to PVC conversion.
