I'm nearing the end of new construction and the other day I did a walk through the home just to check things out. The city inspector was there to do his thing ahead of getting the certificate of occupancy. I learned from him that the hot & cold water in the whole house was reversed and he demanded this be fixed.
I'm wondering how this happens in new construction? Whose fault would this have been? The plumber?
Also, in the laundry room, there is one of those single lever faucets (the kind where you lift up to turn on and push down to turn off and swivel side to side to choose hot or cold or in between). Well, on this one, you PUSH DOWN to turn the water on and LIFT UP to turn the water off. What the heck is that about? How is that even possible? Am I dealing with a builder who has hired a completely incompetent plumber?
If it matters, everything in the house is Delta.
