Hello, we had a sewage pipe damage in the wall between the kitchen and dining room. The coupling of the sewage pipe was cracked and dripped out over months. Craftsmen chiseled open the wall from the dining room side and installed a new sewage pipe. Now sewage pipes and heating pipes lie directly BLANK next to each other in the chiseled-open area.
The old insulation consisted of clay.
Now the plasterer simply placed a mesh board in front of the hole and plastered it. He did not fill the cavity with insulation.
From the kitchen side there is still a hole around the drain pipe which he has so far forgotten to close. When you look into this hole, you can see strong condensation on the heating pipes and drain pipes.
Is this normal? Should the cavity not be filled again with insulation material to prevent condensation and rusting of the heating pipes? (these have already been affected by the old water damage)
What is the best thing to say to the craftsman about this? Should he fill in insulation material here? Which would be suitable?
Thank you
