Hello, I had a company build my new home. Days prior to pouring of the concrete slab, the concreter accidentally damaged a PVC drainage pipe. This pipe is connected to a bathroom area. The plumber on site repaired the pipe with he he stated was an "Aussie Clamp." He said this repair is to code and it happens all the time. I have since spoke to plumbers who say it is to Code, and some say it is not. I have tried numerous time to clarify this with Fair Trading NSW without success. I would appreciate any assistance, answers or direction to the correct answer. There are no issues with leaking etc, I just want clarification if it is to Code prior to my home warranty expiring. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. The picture taken from distance is the damage pipe and site. The second is the repair to the PVC pipe. Thank you.
