And don't fool yourself with small claims court. DIY is $100 filing fees and even if you win good luck collecting. Paying $500 to an agent is just adding to the costs you're going to have a pain collecting.

Good luck collecting from a home builder? A company that owns dozens of titles at any one given time? Yeah that would be hard.

A 1/2 full deep basin sink is a huge volume of water, let alone 3/4 full. I'm not saying it should be expected to fail at that point, but look at the amount of water on the floor and you can easily tell we're not talking about an insignificant weight of water. Hence why any small defect can have a catastrophic impact and why I wouldn't put that volume in any undermounted sink myself.

They build boats and airplanes with epoxy. Epoxies can carry thousands of pounds. The problem with epoxy is not that it doesn't stick or 1 10th of it is missing, it's if you ever wanted to change the sink you would have to get whole new counter tops because you would never get the two apart.
