车库与房间交接处漏水,车库顶及墙的drywall湿了一大片, 房间还好,未有湿迹,给minto打电话,被告知已过了2年warranty(closing date 是2005 年4月底)他们不受理。找人来看,他告诉我是因为屋檐边上的一个东西(我不知道叫什么名字)没装好,水流不出来。还说我应该找minto. 请有经验的朋友告知除了call minto new home service, 我还能找minto什么地方投诉?
第一次碰到漏水的事,很着急,请朋友们回帖。
谢谢!
What model do you have? I have the similar problem back in 2003. The model is Laurance 4. Two possibilities may cause this problem,
1. step flushing is not installed or not installed properly
2. joint of siding and roof is not properly protected by flushing & caulking.
If I remember right, these happened both for my house. As there is brick for 2nd floor bedroom above garage. The brick has to be supported through the steel beem in the garage. There is a opening on the garage roof cut for brick going through. The opening may be cut too big by the framer. If the the opening is too big and is not properly protected, the water will leak to garage but not to the bedroom. Sometimes this only happened when there is wind and has to be certain direction.
I'm not sure you have the same problem. Any way, call me if I can give you a help. 613.864.5828
In the Ontario Home Warranty Program, the 7 year warranty refers to major structure (or foundation) problems. All other small items would be covered for only one year (or two years, I do not remember how long exactly). I do not think the leaking between garage and house as a major problem. Suggest the owner contact the Ontario Home Warranty Program office direct to make clear. Good luck!
I really appreciate all the suggestions and opinions you have all input. Minto inspector came in and have a contractor fixed the problem. It is all because of the caulking not done properly at the joint of the brick wall and the siding. Thanks a lot everyone.
