Dear forum members,

Since the search function did not help me, I am opening a new topic.

The next step in our house construction is to install the screed. However, during plastering work, pallets with building materials were partially placed on the water pipes on the floor, and the pipe insulation is torn in several places. The new site manager does not seem to take his work very seriously and has covered the tears with insulating tape in some areas, apparently considering the issue resolved.

Our building expert is currently on vacation, so we cannot get a professionally qualified opinion. From our layperson’s perspective, simply covering the damage does not seem sufficient.

Are we being too strict, or do the insulation materials need to be completely replaced?

Attached are a few pictures for better understanding.

Thank you in advance.
