Electric eel costing

[MasterPlumbersKeymaster]

I was recently charged $200 including GST for one hour ten minutes work with an eel for a straightforward rodding job. Costs consisted of $40 call out, (on a weekday) $102 for one hour 10 minutes from arriving on the job until presenting the bill and $40 for the eel – all plus GST. This seems over the odds boys even if you do have a Ph Drainage

Wow you got away CHEAP, Who was the clown who under charged you?

Dang ILL sub contract all my drain cleaning to him/her.

Now hear this mate MY large water Jetter cost over $17,000 and I never EVER would charge less then $325 per half HR of its use.

My COLOR Video inspection system and locator cost in excess of $9,000 AGAIN I charge slightly over $500 PER HR for this equipment.

My electric Eel with all the goodies needed to do a complete job also cost in excess of $4,300

My van to tote this equipment around cost $32,000

Someone HAS TO PAY FOR THIS State of the art equipment.

My lowest salary out in the field employee gets over $30 per HR in the envelope NOT including benefits.

My insurance cost me out of pocket $800 + per WEEK.

My office space cost me $2,200 per MONTH.

My office staff of one $1,500 per 40 HR work week NOT including benefits

You think this doesnt add up?
