My wife and I have contracted to purchase a condo apartment. The condo building is currently under construction and we recently went on-site to meet with the project manager and electrician related to some electrical changes we requested. During our visit, the plumbers were in the process of testing the plumbing system for leaks in advance of the county inspection that was due for the next day.
There were leaks in the plumbing that the plumbers were in the process of fixing. There was a lot of water that had leaked onto the floor in our condo and others (not just drips of water, but large pools of water). Of course, final flooring had not yet been layed nor had drywall been installed. All framing had been completed, the roof was completed and the building "wrap" had been installed.
My wife and I were concerned about all the water and the potential for future mold problems. The Project Manager assured us that this was not unusual during plumbing testing and it would all dry well before flooring or drywall installation began.
My questions. Is this typical? Should we be concerned?
Thanks in advance for your responses.
