I purchased this residence in July, 2004. I soon began to notice that the lawn had a sinking patch. The company came to refill it. The following year, I had to have a patch of driveway concrete replaced because it was sinking I was the patch next to the sinking lawn. The company corrected that problem, too. Early the next year, however, I had yet another patch of sinking concrete; the patch adjacent to the replaced patch. I contacted the company to replace it, but they said they weren't going to since it was outside the warranty period of one year for this type of problem. The warranty for my home and that type of problem expired in July of 2005.

I first contacted the company about the second sinking patch in March of this year. I think the winter months had taken a toll onthe patch. When they declined to repair the concrete, I countered with the fact that obviously the ground was not properly compacted before pouring the concrete because I had the same problem in other locations. I have also witnessed several other houses in just a 2-block radius with concrete issues.

I am going to have to replace the concrete myself or get it mudjacked. This seems outrageous for a brand new home. I have one car and never even park it on the driveway, just in the garage, so there is nothing I did to cause this concrete to sink.

I and several other people i know have bought a home from this place about 3 to 4 yrs ago and now the floors sinking in these homes.  These homes were purchased for the people whose homes where damaged where Hurricane Floyd hit in N.C.
