There is exactly how I would have worded it to my client rather than cite code....

I must be missing something, I didn't see that anyone here was citing code. I certainly didn't cite code to my client. I roughly worded it just like I worded it here, but with a little more polish, I hope .

No, it's not right...it should have an upward grade of 1/4" per foot. Looks they ran out room to slope properly and didn't bother to re-do the tie-in in the proper location so they would have enough room for proper grade.

Didn't quote code per se....but the way you explained it will help others who come across this thread that aren't sure how to word it.....

I'm not trying to be an arse here.....just trying to help.

Tony I have found that citing code is often the only way to get the point accross. The code most frequently quoted is the "Code of the West", in the section about stuff not being right. Using the above as an example my exact quote would be "That aint right".

Tony's right don't use the word code remember we are not code inspectors.
