Such things cause some people to only buy used and never want to build themselves! Or rather, these stories cause that.
That may well be. The photos and what the plasterer told me also immediately triggered reactions like "lawyer," "definitely not plaster water," etc. here in the thread. How is a layperson supposed to judge whether someone is exaggerating, trying to distract from their own failures, etc.
Of course, you get worried when hundreds of thousands are already invested in the house and suddenly the whole basement is wet and everyone tells you that this extent is not normal despite plastering.
At least it’s good that it was "only" operational and not construction defects.
That’s how it appears at the moment at least. More details will probably only be known once someone lives in it.... (and hopefully water will never come through anywhere).
Aren't you currently doing the interior plaster? Why remove the gutters then?
Interior plastering was done last week, since yesterday the exterior plaster is underway. I suspect they already removed the gutters last week against all logic. It could also be that the plastering was scheduled weeks ago and was abruptly stopped at the GU’s instruction because of the expert and the lawyer. It’s not out of the question that the pipes were removed already then.
The site manager also noticed yesterday that the garage roof is not yet drained. He wants to give his colleague a note about it so that he can take care of it after his vacation.
Here the water from the gutter all splashed up, then stood there and allegedly found its way into the house from there.
