Water Intrusion

A unit owner on Great Carlisle Court has reported water leaking into her unit. This is the fourth case that we've heard concerning water intrusion.

The builder, KB Home, has told owners that the homes are out of warranty and that this is a maintenance issue for the HOA.

However, it happens that HOA board member Beth Burns had water leaking into her unit. It was caused by a defect in the original construction, which meant that it was not a warranty issue, and KB Home repaired the damage at no cost to Beth.

Dave Page from KB Home inspected the unit on Great Carlisle. He told the unit owner that the roof was sound and that the water was coming in through a broken seal in a window area. Page told our property manager that this is not a construction defect because the building is four to five years old and any defects would have been apparent before now.

It seems not unreasonable that a construction defect could take five years to manifest itself. We don't know how long the building has had a leak. We know only that it has progressed enough that damage is visible inside the unit.

This promises to be a topic of discussion at the board meeting this Thursday.

Also, if you have any problems with the construction of your home, please notify our property manager. You can also call Alex, KB customer service rep, at 813-846-5552.
