Business ProfileforRepipe Specialists

This complaint is RE: job ID ****** which took place 9/11/2023. This was a job contracted to another business Red Cedar Plumbing by Repipe Specialists. The job was performed as a condition of a home sale for address ************************************************************** and paid for by the seller. The home transferred ownership on 9/20/2023 to the buyer. Due to this home being a mobile home in a park, L&I was required to inspect and sign off on the work. At this time, L&I will not sign off on the work as the plumbing company did not attempt to put the insulation back and tape up as specified on the contract. The contract states that the plumber would "do their best to put the insulation back and tape it back up" which did not take place. Also the plumbing company insulated the hot water pipes and did not insulate cold water pipes as they said it is not required. It was requested that we see the codes referenced, as new owner prefers the cold pipes insulated as well. We found WAC 51-11C-40406 Section C404.6 and do not see where cold pipes aren't required in this instance. The service was $8300.00+ & is not complete. L&I will not sign off on the permit. It is a 55+ community & the new owner is a senior on a fixed income. It is not right to leave her with a mess and additional expenses of an incomplete job. Repipe Specialists has referred us back to Red Cedar Plumbing to take care of this, and Red Cedar Plumbing has referred us back to Repipe Specialists who it would seem would ultimately be responsible for making this right. We have also been told that the companies may not speak with us as the previous owner was the one who ordered the work. We have had problems with receiving communication back from Red Cedar Plumbing. I began communicating with ************ on 9/14, 9/15, 9/18, 9/25 and emailing Repipe Specialists 9/13,9/25,10/2,10/4 & 10/5 along with multiple phone calls. Neither party wants to take accountability and make this right.
