Which your contractor should have mentioned at the time, rather than assuming you'd know that, but so be it. Simply draining and refilling old pipes (without replacing any) will result in a huge sediment spike from the air bubbles disturbing the collected sediments; eventually they re-settle and things are normal again. | |
