Question about concrete problems and builder liability
Hey guys, I have a question about builder liability/responsibility. My house built in (finished) Nov 2010 by a reputable local builder. The home had a 1 year home warranty which started when we closed on the house in May 2011, and ended May 2012. My concrete driveway and garage floor have since heaved up causing drainage issues. This has resulted in the concrete surface "spalling" off on the upper part of the driveway. I have had a respected concrete contractor look at it and was told it's because of poor workmanship when it was installed. Poor concrete mix and over-working of the concrete causing water to come to the top during setting.
Anyhow I am looking at having my driveway and garage floor removed, regraded, and redone. At this point is there any benefit in me contacting the builder about covering a portion of the costs? Or a waste of time? I assume at 4 years out they have no liability in it, but figured I'd ask the PPOT braintrust first.
