    So just quickly I am not looking for technical advice on my problem. Basically we were supposed to have a clean loop system of pex in our slab, the bathrooms are taking over 2 minutes to get cold water too because of some recirc pump issue(again, not looking to talk about my plumbing).

    My question is this: Both the builder and the plumbers admit they messed up with the long run. Their solution is to run a pex line in the attic(the house is done btw and lived in), and wrap it with heat tape. Should I ask for compensation due to the fact that I paid for a clean system in the slab that just worked and now I have to deal with pex potentially freezing(very cold climate) and janky heat tape on a battery? I now must also deal with explaining this in terms of resale value to anyone that my plumbing is a joke and have fun with the heat tape battery and praying your pex doesnt freeze because my builder was an idiot.

    Should I take them to court and demand compensation for screwing this up. Is it enough that they "fix" it by doing, what I consider to be, this really stupid solution of running pex and heat tape in the attic after the fact?

    You won't get any help in court, especially when the builder and plumber offer to re-do the plumbing line.
    Plumbing lines in attics are common practice FYI.

    Understandably, you're frustrated with the situation and concerned about potential resale value. Before jumping into legal action, consider a few things. Firstly, try having an open conversation with the builder and plumbers. Express your concerns and see if they can provide a more satisfactory solution. They may be willing to compensate you in some way. Secondly, think about the time, effort, and cost involved in pursuing legal action. Also, consider getting a professional opinion from a lawyer like https://www.familienrecht-ratgeber.com/de/scheidungsanwalt/fachanwalt-scheidung-muenchen.html/. They can evaluate your case and provide personalized advice.

    I sympathize with your situation. It's frustrating when construction doesn't meet expectations, especially when it affects daily life and potentially property value. Considering the compromise proposed by the builder and plumbers, it's reasonable to express concerns about the potential issues with PEX freezing in a cold climate and the unconventional solution of heat tape on a battery. Before resorting to legal action, try negotiating with them for additional compensation or a more robust solution. If they're unwilling to address your concerns adequately, consulting legal advice might be a next step. Ensure any resolution aligns with your expectations and safeguards your property value in the long run.

    Seeking legal advice is crucial when considering complex matters. A lawyer can provide clarity on your situation, ensuring you understand your rights and potential consequences. To find a suitable lawyer, start by seeking recommendations from friends, family, or online reviews. Verify their expertise in the specific area of law relevant to your case. When faced with a legal challenge in Florida, I found a reliable whistleblower lawyer through thorough here https://www.jdsupra.com/legalnews/ho...orida-5579996/ and consultations. Their experience and track record were pivotal in achieving a favorable outcome. Remember, legal guidance can be the key to navigating complexities and safeguarding your interests.
