About this audiobook
Your new house was supposed to be the easy part. Instead the sump pump kicks on every thirty seconds, a corner of the brand-new basement turns dark after every rain, the pressure gauge on the hose spigot reads well past 100, and every email to the builder comes back with the same answer: that's normal. Or no answer at all. Meanwhile the warranty clock is running. New Build Defects: Make Your Builder Fix Them is a calm, practical guide for buyers of newly built homes who need defects documented, claimed and repaired, from the pre-drywall inspection to the 11-month warranty walkthrough and beyond. It is not a home-buying guide, a waterproofing manual or a book on diagnosing foundation cracks. It stays on one job: proving what is wrong, in writing, before the deadline, and getting the people who built your house to make it right. Inside, you'll learn: You don't need to know construction, and you don't need to pick a fight. You need dates, photos and the right question in writing. This book gives you all three, so the house you paid for becomes the house you were promised.
