| Post subject: | Basement leak .....? |
I just noticed my basement leaks. It has 3 different spots and the water starts puddling on the floor. Eventhough not much but I just wonder if this still cover by mattamy. My house is 3 yrs old. Other thing I was consider is put concrete sealant. Any idea what should I do first? Call Mattamy or Terayon? And if I have to buy sealant what kind (brand) should I buy . thanks |

Foundation warranty is 2 years. But type something up and send it to BOTH Tarion and your builders service department and see what happens. Also check to make sure your sump pump is functional. |

Water penetration through basement walls is 2 years. http://www.tarion.com/HOME/Warranty+Pro ... rranty.htm Major cracks and structural fault is 7 years. http://www.tarion.com/HOME/Warranty+Pro ... rranty.htm It certainly cannot hurt to ask, otherwise the answer is always no. |

Mattamy says is not cover under warranty as well as tarion. So i guess i have to fix it myself. I have to buy concrete injection material or something. Any recommendation? |

Do you actually see a crack where water is coming through? Or is it just kind of appearing? Did you check your sump pump to make sure it was functional? Is there a downspout in that area outside the house? Is it plugged? Broken? Disconnected? I'mn currently working on patching a part of my 50 year old basement. I have water that appears on the floor, but I cannot see any cracks and the wall is dry. I'm using a Portland cement mixture that's apparently designed for this purpose. When it's dry I'm going to water down the side of the house with the garden hose for a while and see if anymore water comes in. |

And this is silly question but how to check if the sump pump working? no downspout on that area. Thks |
