Hi all, first homeowner here and currently working through a hell of a defects list to raise to builder.

The combination of a downpipe pouring water straight onto the top cable cover (for the AC unit) means that the water collects at the top of the cable housing, back and under the AC unit. I’m not sure what area this downpipe is collecting, it isn’t shown on plans but I suspect it’s collecting water from the large open-air balcony above. As you can see I’ve rigged up a shitty contraption to redirect water away and into the pavers.

The slab poured for the AC unit does not appear to be at the required 160mm step down. It appears to be poured at the same level of the garage and the builder has put in a temporary seal at the back of the slab in an attempt to stop water going in after me having raised this issue.

The slab poured for the HWS is well below the AC unit so no issues there.

The builder said that following lodgment of my defects list it is likely they’ll put in a pressure flashing to seal and stick out the downpipe to not hit the cable housing.

Is this a big shamozzle and what can I do? Im not a builder but seems like something that should have been picked up at slab stage and this is a pretty big noncompliance. What is required for the builder to properly rectify?

Cheers all

AC slab not poured to required setdown and water ingress - what can I do?
