Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Plumming missed after slab 3Jun 21, 2018 1:27 pm After doing this post we also realised they missed the drainage from the butler's pantry too. To fix the one in the alfresco they had to bring a pipe up next to the alfresco concrete and put the drainage into the wall, they bricked around it and it looks fine. The Butler's Pantry was a disaster and they had to cut the slab from the drainage point in the kitchen where the island bench would go, through to where it was meant to be in the pantry. The filled this in and did a horrible job, then dug it up and filled it again but it had a hump. The kitchen place put our kitchen down on the hump and we complained, so they came and uninstalled the kitchen, the hump was ground down for 4-5 hours and then the kitchen was then reinstalled. We insisted on engineers certification where the slab was cut which they didn't love having to provide but came through with it in the end. It caused a whole lot of delays and the kitchen drama and everything else all came back to the missed plumbing. In saying that, if your problem is just in your alfresco it should be able to be fixed really quickly and easily. If you look through my build thread you'll see pictures of where and how the slab was cut both inside the house and in the alfresco. I hope this helps. The concreter will take and reuse.
