I have plumbers working on addition to my home and they ran cpvc to addition. The rest of home is copper. When they finished and left,of course, the prv opened and flooded the basement. I have seen this happen where it opens for 10 seconds and sometimes just stays open for 15-20 min. It has now flooded my basement 4 times. No disrespect to plumbers, but these 2 won't listen to anything. I tried to tell them it wasn't water heater, but they bought and installed a new one(Bradford White 30 gallon). They left again and same thing happened. They installed an expansion tank horizontally on hot water side of water heater. That didn't work either. They finally checked water pressure after they told me they haven't done that in 23yrs. They put in pressure reducer after water supply shut off but before water meter. The prv has opened one time since and its been48 hrs. I have a hose connected to sump pump now but they broke my original set up of sump pump, hence the flooding. I've never heard of a water heater discharging all this water at various times and amounts and apparently neither have they. I don't want to see my water bill or electric bill from the fans to dry basement. I hope someone can help. I told the contractor they're not getting back in my house.
Thank you
