Hired plumber to reroute pipes that froze and burst this past winter. He moved the pipes to the ceiling on an adjacent room and has them hanging from straps (not flush with ceiling). He then created a soffit but it is un-level and looks terrible.
Granted, he is not finished with the soffit. I paid him for the completed plumbing but not yet the soffit which he is still working on.
It was his idea to do the soffit rather than hire a carpenter. I guess work is slow.
Is there a way to fix this? Is a level soffit an expectation of a soffit installation?
Finally, are pipes hanging from pipe straps code compliant? They are far from level but no one can see them as they are behind the unlevel soffit.
