Hello,
I am looking for some advice please. We bought our new build house 8.5 years ago from the builder (who is still in business locally). We recently had drainage problems with our main bathroom (toilet, sink, shower and bath not draining) so after many hours of investigations the 3rd drainage company has diagnosed that the builder attached the main bathroom foul pipe to the radon sump (a box underneath the house devised to release gas into the air). In effect all sewerage and water from our main bathroom has been pumped under our house and into the foundations for the past 8 years.
I contacted the builder and he's not returning my calls. Homebond says they don't cover services. House insurance is sending out a loss adjuster to investigate.
My question is .... is the builder legally responsible for covering the cost of fixing this issue?
Any advice or suggestions would be welcome.
Many thanks.
