5 year history with
water infiltration
issues into our
brand new Heartland Homes
home. Water
issues started
3 months after closing
on our brand new
Heartland Homes
house. Heartland
Homes was notified every
single time we had water
infiltration.
As you can see
above,
we were told they were
working on our issues (see
emails).
Shortly after our 1
year warranty was over, we
never heard back from our
new home builder, Heartland
Homes.
Even thought we were
told Heartland Homes was
working on our water
infiltration issues, we
never saw any
changes in the amount of
water coming into our brand
new Heartland Homes home.
We were never told
about anything they were
working on to correct our
water issues.
We were never asked
if there were changes to the
water infiltrating our home.
Nor were we even told
they were done working on
the outside of our home to
correct our
water infiltration issues,
nothing. Heartland
Homes was just gone.
Even after we sent a
certified package that was
signed for to the office of
the owner(s)
of
Heartland Homes Pittsburgh Alan
Gillespie or Marty
Gillespie, we hear nothing.
See our photos (main
page link above) and
you can see there are no
changes to the amount of
water coming into our home.
After we filed a case with
the Better Business
Bureau, shortly
thereafter we hear back from
the builder.
Marty Gillespie then called
me to discuss our issues and
came to our home to see
our new home issues.
I was told they would
resolve our issues and I was
introduced to Craig Faulkner
to be the person we work
with.
During our BBB case filing,
we saw Heartland Homes
attempting to repair our
water infiltration issues.
The work Heartland
Homes did was at grade level
and below, nothing above
grade for whatever reason.
They did seal the lower
brick on our home, that was
it.
None of our water issues
resolved by the builder that
built our Heartland Homes
home.
They never resolved our
water infiltration issues
during our BBB case, our
next step was the court
system.
All details are outlined in
our website, which I am
still working to complete.
We won the verdict from the
Judge in our lawsuit, along
with some monies for some of
the repairs to our home.
Since we did not submit a
granular detailed
inspection, like we
initially should have, the
monies portion of our
verdict was minimal.
Heartland Homes appealed the
monies portion of our
verdict. Since the monies
portion was around
$11,000.00 and we already
spent over $25,000.00 in
legal fees, deposition
costs, replacing our
electrical panel & still
needed to spend another
$20,000+ minimally for
repairs =
why should be bother
spending any more of our
monies?
We will be upside down over
$50,000.00+ including the
repairs to our brand new
Heartland Homes home.
So it will cost us an
additional $50,000.00+ with
the brand new home we
purchased once +
we complete the repairs
required to our Heartland
Homes home.
No structural
engineer has ever
been to our home on
behalf of or
representing Heartland
Homes, at any time.
We were told during our 1
year warranty period, they
were working on our issues.
However none of our issues
were ever resolved and there
was never any follow up with
us regarding our
water issues from Heartland
Homes, period.
