Hi, can pls check on the attached photo below?

As u can see, the water pipe is lay as such that is going a little bit up after the cornering.
Of course, if water keeps on dripping from the air cond, it will push the water forward and subsequently will flow out to the drain. But I'm quite sure that water will cloak at some of the area there.

Is this consider bad workmanship? Is there any bad effect to the air cond or water leakage after from the pipe after some time?
Hope someone can answer me coz i'll ask the air cond fella to redo the piping before covering it with cement if this is not the right way of doing it.

Thanks.

You may want to more better picture, where the pipe from and so on.
I could see is that those cables pass through beam?

But it will not give more problem as indicated by Jin, as aircon water will not cause must trouble....

if they are glued properly means there is no leak thus no worries..

just take an example of your water pipes in your bathroom in the walls la..

this aircond one is not pressured but your water pipe is pressured smile.gif

Important is no leakage, then maybe you can patch it back and cover with casing.

dude, the workmanship is kinda bad. if water is dripping, there are few causes.

First lag of pressure to pump the water. Solution would be a water pump to solve this problem. Can check out Acson Easi Flo water pump.

Second, the bending of the copper coil made it drip.

ps : im currently working in the Air conditioning industry so this is a norm occurrence.
