sharp tile cutting a plastic waterline

[mbrazzeal]

I'm looking for some clarification if the poly line running under this new tile floor was cut by the sharp tile (underneath). The tile guy is not taking any responsibility for this line being cut by the sharp tile. I have seen tile cut a poly/pex line in the past and that is why tile guys always have to bevel the edges of tile if they put flooring right up next to a line like this?
Has anyone else seen this situation happen before? The home owner thinks we pulled to hard on the waterline when we were installing the fridge to this line.

Well, I'm not saying it's anyone's fault. But when I tile up to a line like that I'll cut a notch out a good 1/4" away from it to avoid any possibility of damage.

So you were installing the fridge and the line popped on you? Unfortunately you were the last one to touch it so you eat it unless you can deflect the responsibility.

Tile guy coulda beveled the edge but why was the water line installed like that in the first place. I’m no plumber but that looks like some Ricky James DIY house flipper shit to me. It’s sucks but $5 says you eat it. Hopefully you’ve learned a lesson for next time.

I have to agree with Chris. That waterline is hacked in. Random pex sticking out of the wall/floor.... Both isn't a finished water line. It's just a piece of pex that shouldn't be there.

So if anyone is to blame it should be the shoddy plumber that didn't take the time to do it right in the first place. Pay the tile guy and stop breaking his balls.

The leak looks like it's been going on for years.
