    The 4" connection to the stack is difficult to seal, my bet is thats the major leak, if theres even a 4" pipe at all..

    So just to update, the builder has stopped answering my calls and messages since the end of last week. It's now been two months since I told him about the leaks. He told me Monday last week (Sept 28th) he'd get back to me when he can arrange a day and time with the plumber, and he'd keep me posted. But no reply since, and calls and message have gone unanswered since yesterday morning.

    I'm hoping it's just that maybe he's busy and still intends to get back to me, but it's two months now and not looking good.

    So what are my rights if he goes AWOL, and what would be the next step to take? It was a cash job and all correspondence was via WhatsApp, and I already paid him the full amount. I don't have many details on him apart from his company name, and when I google it there are a few with the same name, so I'm not exactly sure which one he is.

    I think you have two real options.

    1st is to call it a bad job, forget about him and get someone else in at your cost.

    2nd is to call him from a different phone enquiring about having work done at a different address and have a few of your largest friends there to politely request your money back.

    If you are unsure of his business details and no record of payments or contract of works, I don't see you having much success in legally chasing him.
