I wouldn't pay them any extra to do the drain properly. They are also typically the ones that do warranty work on the equipment but you'll have to find that out for sure.

Who did they think was going to finish your drains?

Did they ever bring up to you that the drains need to be connected to something?

It is not proper workmanship to leave the drain pipes unconnected like that and say the job is completed.

If they ran the drains up to that point they had a responsibility to turn it over to you or to complete the connections. Since there was no communication it seems to imply they had the reprehensibility to connect the drains as your local codes permit.

The owner’s response is “we thought you had a drain there, but you don’t, so now it costs more.”

They would not have known anything was wrong or unfinished if we didn’t tell them our side yard was flooding.

You thought wrong and need to complete the project to workman like standards. Leaving a pipes unconnected is builder malpractice if a drain was specified.

What was specified in writing about your drains?
