Why have you stopped repair work and left this deep, water-filled hole in the middle of our campus?
Because we don't think we're the contractor responsible for causing the problem.
Well, you laid the pipe and it's obvious from what we've pulled out of the ground that you failed to protect it from the corrosive soil in this area.
No, we always protect the pipe on our jobs, that's how we know it wasn't us.
You realize that's why they call it a "construction defect," right?
Sure do--I feel sorry for that contractor you're going to sue when you find him.
