Purchased a new build Flat 2.5 years ago and since start I've complained to the builders about smell from ensuite (wet room) they have been fairly dismissive however had sent plumbers 5-6 x that have found "no issue"
Last week had large leak and after plumber I contacted made hole in cupboard wall (adjacent to wet room) he's found that communal soil pipe has a boss connection prepared for a shower and the boss connector has no plug.
I had a wet room set up and installation by the builders.
So water has been leaking out behind the wall and tiled wet room for 2 years + now.
Think the larger leak was then caused by drains blocking.
My question is how does this happen? And should this not have been picked up during the Building Regulations report/certificate? Should these communal soil pipes be tested for pressure at start?
Builders saying I'm outside my 2 year builder warranty and not being very helpful.
