QUOTE(xSean @ Aug 5 2011, 10:53 AM) now the contractor use epoxy putty cover it with poly pipe and hose clamp....i'm not sure how long it can last....but since yesterday until now, it no leaking... do u think it a good solution? my advise use PUTTY and NOT CEMENT TO PATCH/COVER IT just incase you need to fix it next time.. just curious how big of a hole was the hole ? a normal 8mm drillbit made that hole ? |

QUOTE(xSean @ Aug 5 2011, 11:13 AM) don't know how big the hole...normal drill to wiring screw... i think 6mm... what u mean use putty? they say need to cement back to give the pressure to the pipe... will cement back after 1 week...if no more leaking wow 6mm thats a big freaking hole.. in a way... just curious the hole is on the ground or on the ceiling ? cement back to give pressure to the pipe sounds so off.... anyway hope it lasts.. the fella who made the blunder got give u warranty ? lol |

QUOTE(weikee @ Aug 5 2011, 02:26 PM) Is the pipe belong to you? I am not plumber expert, but i personally feel is better cut and join then seal back with concrete. If it leak, the Rebar will rust and concrete tensile will be reduce. when that happen gone case man.... have to peach one big lobang.. cut the rebar and put new rebar and cement back for optimum strength.. |
