W.B. Homes Warranty - Flipbook - Page 44
COVERAGE 3 1ST YEAR ONLY
Possible Deficiency:
Ice build up on roof.
Performance Standard:
Ice buildup is likely to occur at the eaves of a roof. This condition occurs when snow and ice
accumulate and gutters and downspouts freeze.
Responsibility:
It is the Homeowner's responsibility to remove snow and ice buildup that can cause ice damming.
Prevention of ice buildup on the roof is Homeowner maintenance. There will be no warranty coverage
if roof leaks while there is snow or ice on the roof.
Possible Deficiency:
Roof or flashing leaks.
Performance Standard:
Roofs or flashing shall not leak under normally anticipated conditions, except where cause is
determined to result from ice buildup or Homeowner's actions or negligence.
Responsibility:
Builder will repair any verified roof or flashing leaks not caused by ice buildup or Homeowner's
actions or negligence.
Possible Deficiency:
Standing water on a flat roof.
Performance Standard:
Water shall drain from a flat roof, except for minor ponding, immediately following rainfall or when
the roof is specifically designed for water retention.
Responsibility:
Builder will take corrective action to assure proper drainage of roof.
Possible Deficiency:
Delamination of veneer siding or joint separation.
Performance Standard:
Separation and delamination shall be repaired or replaced.
Responsibility:
Builder will repair siding, as needed, unless caused by Homeowner's neglect to maintain siding
properly. Repaired area may not match in color and/or texture. For surfaces requiring paint, Builder
will paint only the new materials. The Homeowner can expect that the newly painted surface may not
match the original surface in color. The Homeowner shall maintain all exterior caulking to avoid
degradation of exterior materials. Maintenance of caulking is recommended at least every three years
with Homeowner doing a visual inspection at least once each year.
