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.
