Hi all/Woody,So in essence, the work has been completed contrary to the agreement?
In which case, if the builder knew about the requirements of the agreement but did not conform then he is responsible for the consequences.
If you did not advise the builder of the agreement criteria, and he has installed an otherwise compliant drain then he is not liable.
Whether building control approved the drain or not is no help. However, if the drain has been installed to a recognised standard (BS or EN etc) then you could use that as an argument.
If the main [shared] drain is in 150mm and it is your sole connection to it which is100mm, then it wont be a problem. If a 150mm drain is being reduced to 100mm downstream, then that would be a concern.
So having a look at all the conditions set by the WA the builder has i think met them. i have tried to find wherever i can about not being able to reduce in size and i cant find anything that says this.
Builder was advised of all the requirements of the build over agreement and a copy was also sent to the building control inspector.
So having had a look at the cctv footage the camera goes down a 150mm pipe (public sewer pipe) then to a preformed pvc 110mm inch junction then goes back to a 150mm pipe (public sewer pipe) downstream
Question: Do you think they will make me dig out the inside of my kitchen area or are there ways around to remedy this?
Question: if it had to be dug up then will my foundations be ok?
Question - if i didnt submit the second survey how likely is it that they will chase the second cctv survey for post approval - has anyone had the WA chase you for it
Question - do i need to submit the secodn survey before or after buildings regs issue certificate as building control inspector did not ask for it
super anxious
