Hey everyone, I have some questions that I’m hoping I can get some insight on. To start, I’m in Texas and purchased a new build in 2022. Prior to closing and during our first year, we of course did our due diligence and had several things addressed by the builder.
Since that first year has gone, we’ve noticed some flooring issues that we haven’t looked into yet. I’m wondering how large of a concern they are.
First concern is on the first floor, there are a few spots where the vinyl flooring has a dip that you can clearly feel with your feet if you’re not wearing shoes. Is this something normal with the foundation settling?
Second, in several areas under the carpeting on our second floor, there are dips. Some are much larger than the dip on the first floor vinyl. Not sure if things were just not correctly installed or if there’s actual damage to something under the carpet. We have not had any flooding in the home.
Third, and possibly the biggest concern. In the upstairs master bathroom, we’ve noticed that stepping on a certain area of the flooring will cause a shelf about a foot and a half away to rattle. This does not seem normal at all and I’m wondering if it’s just a flooring issue or a much larger structural issue.
Thank you to anyone who has insight on any of these concerns!
