Hello everyone,
Here is the situation:
Shortly before completing our house, it was discovered that the wastewater pipe coming from the foundation slab was installed too low, and the slope toward the sewer connection is insufficient. We reported this issue and requested a correction. The defect was noted in the acceptance report and has since been resolved.
Now, the construction company is asking us to cover the costs because the wastewater inspection chamber was not in place before the foundation slab was built, so the reference point was missing. However, we were never informed about this. In my opinion, the sewer connection could also have served as a reference point. We were also never warned about the possibility of having to bear these costs ourselves.
What are your thoughts on this matter?
