G'day,
I have recently discovered that in the house I live in, some of the roof tiles have begun to slide out of place and about 80% of the ridge lines' mortar has cracked and is slowly crumbling and needs re-pointing. The house is about 4 years old so it's still under 7 years of HBA warranty which is covered by the builder. (The builder provides 25 yrs for major structural defects for first owner of the house, which I don't think is applicable here)
My question is, are the problems mentioned above covered by the builder until 7 yrs? Has anyone gone through a similar problem and resolved through builder?
TIA
If you think the builder is going to be difficult - get a building inspector to write a report and literally state whether it is covered by HBA warranty. You can also use it for the scope of work the builder will have to fix.
