that can drip from vehicles. All of these items can cause spalling (chipping of the surface) of concrete and aren’t covered by Century Communities. Expansion Joints Remove plant growth from the expansion joints as soon as it appears. Left to grow, the roots expand and will crack or damage your concrete. Sealer A concrete sealer, available at paint stores, will help you keep an unpainted concrete floor clean. Use only products designed to clean and seal concrete. Spalling (Surface Chips) Causes of spalling include repeated hosing of concrete for cleaning, animal urine, radiator overflow, fertilizer, un-cleared snow and ice, ice-melting agents, and road salts from vehicles. Repair of spalling is a home maintenance task. Standing Water Water may stand on exterior concrete slabs for several hours after precipitation or from roof run-off. Century Communities will correct conditions that cause water to remain longer than 24 hours, unless it is from run-off of melting ice or snow, a continuous rain, or precipitation and temperature levels that don’t allow water to evaporate. Century Communities Limited Warranty Guidelines Concrete slabs are floating — they are not attached to the home’s foundation walls. Because these slabs are not a structural (load-bearing) element of the home, they are excluded from coverage under the structural warranty. The limited warranty coverage is for one year unless the requirements of your loan state otherwise. Cracks If a crack in the concrete exceeds the tolerances, the area is considered deficient and will be repaired. Cracks in basement floors exceeding the tolerances will be repaired by surface patching or other methods. Finished Floors Century Communities will correct cracks, settling or heaving that rupture finish floor materials that we installed as part of the home as you originally purchased it should they be structurally related, up to a State’s statutes. Level Floors Concrete floors in the habitable areas of the home will be level to the tolerances with the exception of an area specifically designed to slope toward a floor drain.
