Our plumber recently explained that he was tying brand new copper
supply lines into the old yellow brass lines that exist in certain
parts of our bstone. The GC independently said that it would be
copper all the way down, otherwise he couldnt gurantee the work. Of
course, the yellow brass is in fact remaining in a significant portion
and has been tied into the copper. We brought it to GC's attention
and he confronted the plumber, who insists that the original lines are
in excellent condition and are, in fact, more durable than the new
copper he might replace them with. They are offering to replace them
anyway if we insist at no cost. We don't want to insist unless we
feel there is very good reason.
Should we be concerned?
Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks,
Ari and Erin
