Underground Plumbing Dug too Low Results in Thousands in Extra Costs

[Devin James]

This home had a HUGE delay that cost us thousands of dollars.

The group that put in the underground plumbing dug the plumbing too low, and by the time we caught the mistake, the slab had already been poured and the septic tanks installed.

We had to dig up the septic tanks, install a lift station, and reinstall the septic tanks.

This all happened during 2 hurricanes, which caused even more delays.
Time kills deals.

This is why you need to 1) be conservative with your timelines and costs, 2) add contingencies to your budgets, and 3) have a healthy profit margin.

did the sub who did the work incorrectly come back and fix it no charge..  I would expect that to happen.. you eat the time but should not eat the cost of the fix.
