Why did it take 7 drain tests?

 

Surely for the small cost, a self builder would buy a drain pressure test kit. Test it as you go along. Then when it's finished, test it, and when you are sure it holds pressure, call BC to witness the test. Job done.

The people who installed the conservatory kept saying it was done and getting the inspector out then it failed. I asked the same question, why didn't they check first and they said that they had. I thought the inspector would get fed up, but he was very good about it.

 

They took five tests on one drain before it passed. By that point he didn't trust them and wanted to test the other drain that they had installed which failed and then passed after they dug the whole thing up and replaced it.
