SO last night my master bath toilet reservoir seal gave way and dumped about 30 gal of water onto the floor which soaked the carpet which I promptly tore up. When I went into my walk in closet the water had gotten in there too so up came that carpet where I discover a large crack in the foundation. I think it is big enough to worry about so what should I do and are there any time limits for discovery of this kind of thing? I was trying to get in touch with my mortgage people but i havent heard from them yet.
Who was the home builder? Are any neighbors experiencing the same thing? You're out east right? Lots of those houses were built on what used to be farmland and it's hard to get the correct compaction to build on. Right now, I'd say your options are the homebuilder, the engineering firm that designed all the compaction specs or the inspection company that signed off on the compaction when the subdivision was just at the pad stage.
So jordy,
How is Suprise or Sun City West
Surprise is booming. I wouldn't live there though. Sun City West is still for the most part a retirement kind of deal, lots of old people in golf carts. They are building like crazy further west than that though.
Six Flags supposedly just bought property to build a park out there. There is also going to be a mall built that is one of the biggest ones out west, or at least that's the rumor. Something to rival Mall of America.
What is wrong with surprise,
The parents are thinking of buying out there
How old is your home? There are companies that specialise in slab repairs here in So. Cal so i'm sure there are some in your neck of the woods. Good luck and keep us posted.

Just not my cup of tea on the west side. It's getting better than it ever was, and there are some nice areas, but I kind of like to be more in the middle of things. Depending on what you wanted to do, Surprise could be a great spot. It's a little closer to the river, depending on where you are. On the down side of it, you really only have Lake Pleasant close by and everything else is kind of a haul. Lots of new subdivisions that all pretty much look the same. Like I said, just not my cup of tea.
I'd certainly be checking with the Insurance if the builders warranty is expired...hope it works out for you.
