Hi all,
Had a licensed plumber in CA move plumbing for laundry room to other side of wall for a permitted laundry room I’m building. The city didn’t care about the plumbing since it was just a clean up / move of existing, but my work will be inspected and they will see this work.
I have a few concerns with the work and the plumber said they’d correct anything the city is not happy with. I see quite a few issues with the work but I need your advice on a few things.
Biggest issue I see outside of the obvious is they ran the copper behind the laundry box and it’s rubbing. Bigger issue is the box is sticking about an inch past the 2x4 stud and will stick out past the drywall in an unsightly fashion. I’m going to reach out and have them fix that and I wanted to confirm the copper should not be in contact with the box anywhere other than where it mounts. This will (could) vibrate and cause a leak down the road if not addressed correct?
Few other things, they cut the framing excessively and I know that does not meet code and will get rejected. All of the framing cut you see is new or expanded. The only existing framing cut was a 40% notch in the top plate which had the vent sticking out the drywall and I wanted that corrected along with putting the plumbing in the wall.
They are good people and I hope they will work this out with me.
Thoughts?
