To say I'm hacked off would be putting it mildly... Got a 1100x600mm hole cut in our living room ceiling, and when the plumber pulled the bath out to check there for leaks first, he damaged the bath where the waste is attached to the bath .. So, we're down a whole bathroom, and not unsurprisingly, have heard nothing since the plumber was there and found the leak and related damage in the roof space...

Ours have been built the same – slightly higher in the pantry than the kitchen. Did they give you any reason why they are built like this?

This was 14 years ago when we built the Windsor with them. They wouldn’t seal the tiles. It wasn’t mandatory at that stage. But we offered to pay extra considering we have 4 en-suite and didn’t want to take the chance like what happened to you. Well they wouldn’t. Then when we had toilets that blocked and a bath that was over flown. Well it went right through to our theatre. Wrecked the whole plaster. Plus in the lounge where my daughters bedroom was that’s where the toilet got blanched. Now we have to replace the whole ceiling in that house. That’s why I said I will never ever build with porter Davis again. viewtopic.php?t=86597 23 Jun 2017 378 Gold Member Re: Building Bayside : Our Glendale 45 579Jul 06, 2019 9:47 pm Drew01 excited_buildersOh no that is awful, how will they fix it ?

Very surprised especially water proofing certificate is not worth the paper it's printed on IMO. In Victoria any person doing the waterproofing can issue one. He doesn't need any qualifications or certifications. Ie. If tomorrow I decide to be a waterproofer I can. But I guess with larger companies they have to back up the certificate?
