The house was built new last year. There is water damage in the basement due to leaks around a pipe that enters from the outside. I have a feeling the builder is trying to avoid performing the repair. What can I do?
Just inform your home builder about this happening and ask him to resolve this issue. If he doesn’t agree then check your insurance policy. But whatever the case is… solve it asap. There is nothing to wait more because this will cause you more loss. talk to insurance company and then solve your problem at your own and then claim your expenses from them.. Use elastomeric coatings for your water repairing.

of course they are trying to avoid paying for the repair. you should contact your homeowner’s insurance and homeowner’s association. new homes usually have a 1 year warranty on almost everything including the plumbing. if you are within your warranty then the builder should pay for repairs. if you are outside of the warranty you may still be able to get the builder to pay since things like plumbing are supposed to last quite awhile. but contact your homeowner’s insurance and they can probably advise you from there.

Give him a deadline for doing the job and tell him that you will pay somebody else to do it otherwise and recover your costs through the courts.
Put it all in writing and keep a copy.
