Get several estimates.
Remember though, make sure they are licensed and insured.
Make sure you get a camera inspection before and after to see how the replaced line looks, and if in fact you need to have it replaced to begin with.
Read the estimate.
Compare the work to be done, and price.
If the permit for the sidewalk excavation is a bit too much ask about "trenchless" technology.

Ask your friends if they have had any dealings with plumbers and go from there . I needed a plumber and I always check them out with friends. Word of mouth goes a long way.

Licensed, bonded, insured, check with the better business dept., or any plunbing supply store (they are not going to recommend a plumber that does NOT pay his Bill's).
