Long story short I hired a plaster company to do my pebble tec. I was very specific with them and asked them how high they wanted me to cut the in-floor pipe above the shotcrete, they told me a half an inch. The plumber did just that and set the collars. The result from shotcrete was 1/2" of pipe + 1/2" of collar. Plaster company then came out to do pre-plaster inspection and stated that the collars are half an inch too high as they are approximately 1 in above the level of the shotcrete. I showed them the email stating what they had told us to do. They didn't care what they had previously stated and that they needed to be moved and not their fault, I was glowing red... To pile up my frustrations, I BEGGED them to please cut the pipes as I wanted to avoid this exact scenario. They refused and said my plumber had to cut the in-floor system pipes.
The spacing around the in floor system pipes is not deep enough to be able to cut out below the collars to put on a new extension and insert new collars. Therefore this is going to require jackhammering up the concrete around all the different in floor pipes (36 of them) to be able to set new collars.
This is going to cost me anywhere between 5,000 to $7,000 to correct. What do you all think is a reasonable solution to this issue? Is Pebble tec not able to be laid 1 in thick?
