custom home warranty in California?
Dec 6th, 2008 by DougP
Our home was built in 2001 on adobe soil which our builder assured us he was familiar with and put extra DG under foundation. We had cracks within first year which continue to get worse among other problems with doors closing seasonally. Also had well dug which has had 3 new pumps in 6 years and after video taping the well they said we need new well dug. What are my options?
If builder met all codes, he is off the hook. The city (county) won't accept responsibility, even though they approved a faulty installation. I would question the pump installer. In any clay soil, you are going to have cracks. Letting the soil dry out during dry periods and swelling during wet ones will also cause shifting and cracking. I am afraid you are on your own. I think if you start questioning neighbors, you will find similar problems.
