Today i emailed the builder because im pretty sure that the overflow drain hole in the bathroom sink should not always be filled with water & mine is. BUT should i have just called a plumber and then if there was a problem get the builder to pay? Or because it's new is it ok to keep going to the builder? ?????

Re: Builders warranty 3Jan 17, 2017 1:48 pm Not sure on the warranty but I would check with a plumber because I had a smell coming in our bathroom and laundry which I thought was caused by this, however my plumber explained it was actually the one dry overflow that was letting in the smell and they're meant to have water in them all the time. Soon as he added water back into it the smell was gone. Re: Builders warranty 4Jan 18, 2017 2:03 am Definitely contact the builder and have them attend to it in a timely manner otherwise you'll be wasting time,effort and potentially money when they should be on top of it.
