Water Pipe Leakage from underground is found. Once the main water tap is on (at the water meter), water is coming out from underground, like fountain.
Plumber dig a little bit to find any hole. Didn't find any leakage from the surface. So he concluded that it's from underground pipe. Asked me to check with developer.
Developer checked, and said that it's my contractor who caused the leakage when they hack the tiles and concrete. Developer is not responsible for it. So now what?!
My contractor said the plumber quote him RM450 to fix the problem. Ask me to share 50-50. Reasonable???

Who is the culprit?

There is no leakage at first. I also suspect that the leakage caused by the contractor when they do the hacking. But my contractor said if we never change the tiles, we never know the water pipe from underground is leaking, as it won't surface.

I understand. But i cannot stand when the contractor and plumber keep telling me it's not their problem! When i tell him off that it's not me who caused the leakage either, he got pissed off and said "Ok Ok Ok, i bear everything". What is this? Huh...

Yes, I am willing to pay part of the cost. But RM450 quoted by the plumber (hired by contractor), is not reasonable price to me. I feel like the actual cost only RM200+, and my contractor say we share half-half, but in fact I pay all the total cost.

Before this case, got leakage from water tank. He and the plumber told me need thousands dollar to fix it. Ended up no leakage from the tank, after the developer went up to check. Feel like they want to parang me.

Hi Jo-da48,

Me and the developer think the same. The developer told me that he can "touch the scar" caused by the contractor. But my contractor insist that it has nothing to do with him.
The original place got water tap, linked to sink. Then, they cut the pipe and connect it to new extended kitchen. As you can see, there is a T-connection. One direct to kitchen sink,
another branch to washing machine (corner). Can you further explain to me how the new pipe should lay?

Not only want me to pay for their mistake, parang me somemore... About the job to be carried out, they always tell me this
is going to be hard work! A lot of difficult tasks need to be carried out. Ya, because i'm seem to be a dummy to them, they
like to confuse me.

Added on December 8, 2011, 4:44 pmMe & contractor finally come to the agreement that I pay RM150 (he pay the balance) to settle the problem.
After 2nd thought, i don't want to further the argument and delay the subsequent works. Though, i know i might
be kena parang and i pay to correct their mistake, i just... "swallow it". Hope they can fix it asap.
