u/Rare-Attitude-3100

I noticed this drip the other day at my water heater and had my bf call a plumber to come fix it before it got worse. They quoted 1400 but another 1400 if they had to open the wall. Said your house is piped with pvc and should be repiped. I paid his inspection fee and put in a claim with home warranty to come fix it since he said it wasn’t urgent. Is that normal pricing? I was shocked and asked is that to fix the one drop a minute that’s coming out? Yep he says, you’re other pipe is rusted and needs works too, want a quote? Not a chance I said. I put a clay pot under and since Thursday finding it I would say it’s about a quarter cup of water.
