This past week, our unit was scheduled for plumbing work by Delta between April 4th through April 12th, 2018. Due to the amount of work required within our unit, we decided to make arrangements to stay elsewhere during the construction period since our apartment is small, and would not allow for much privacy and rest during their working hours. Because we were not feeling well in the days leading up to the scheduled construction period, we were concerned about the amount of dust produced during the work. Per the instructions that were emailed to us, we removed all items from beneath the sinks, above the washing machine, above the refrigerator, above the bathroom sink, and above the toilet. In an effort to be respectful to the workers, we had thoroughly cleaned the apartment in addition to clearing off the instructed areas. Upon returning, we found an excessive amount of dust coated on everything in our apartment... Dust also worked its way to the bedroom and closet, even though the doors had been closed prior to leaving. We found that Delta Repipe had moved all of our items from above the cabinets and did not put them back. We were under the impression that Delta Repipe would use covers to protect all surfaces, but the evidence of dust is clearly present on the kitchen floor, living room carpet/rug, furniture, blankets, electronics, tables, clothing, decorative items, etc... (see attached pictures). Only the carpet in the trafficked area (front entry leading to bathroom) seemed to have been either vacuumed or protected with some sort of cover. The counters and sinks were also wiped.
I understand that Delta takes precautions to ensure that a majority of the dust is kept out. THIS WAS NOT THE CASE.
Prior to construction they took pictures of the dust that was already present (behind the tv and on bookshelves). But the apartment was well-lived in to prevent an excessive amount of dust to be present on items such as my couch, and a table with a number of personal belongings (laptop, etc).
Please see pictures to view the furniture before (they take pictures prior to construction) and after (my pictures). You can tell which ones are significantly cleaner (their start date vs completion).
In closing, I am extremely upset, needless to say. I urge anyone looking to get their plumbing done to go elsewhere. I am hopeful that the quality of work done was exceptional, but their cleanup leaves something to be desired.
