I need the help of the experts here again.

So the plumbers are drilling a new hole in my foundation (for the new water main) with a 2 1/2" concrete core drill. The hole is supposed to come into the house near the ceiling of my basement utility room. The core drill is water cooled. And the plumbers had drilled a small exploratory hole.

So now they are drilling from the outside with the core drill, and the water pours into the house through the exploratory hole. The insulation between the drywall and the cement foundation is soaked as are the 2 x 4's. I think the entire wall may be effected.

These guys are supposed to be with the most reputable plumbing shop in town - but I have the sense they have no idea what they are doing.

Am I right in thinking they need to replace the drywall and insulation and vapour barrier etc that got soaked???

Does anyone have any experience with this sort of thing??
