Hi Everyone, We are in the middle of repiping our entire house with PEX. The work seems to be rough and on the sloppy side. Some furnitures were not covered and scratched up, there were dust all over the place, on my closet mirrors and a shelf full of clothes. They have taken apart our laundry door and left it in the garage and, emptied out the cabinets and left our belongings in different places, all without asking. The shower was installed off center (a hole is showing in the tile), and they have butchered a joist with inadequate spacing between pipes, thereby also making it impossible to wrap insulations around those said pipes. They have also cut into a drain pipe along an exterior wall, and patched it up with a glob of glue. Most of our fiberglass insulations were missing, and some pipes along the exterior wall were also not insulated. We were talked out of an inspection to save time (prolonged delays due to the city’s backlog during Covid) and also to save a bit of money.
1. Is it too late to ask for an inspection now?
2. Is it common to drill holes quite a bit larger than the diameter of the pipe in the joists for expansion purposes?
3. Should I be worried about structural integrity with holes only 1/2" apart?
4. Is it reasonable to request for a new drain?
