I am not an attorney either, but I do inspections in MD and have fought many a builder. I have had to go back on builders after the warranty period. The way I have won is by showing that a "reasonable discovery" had just taken place and the warranty period begins at that point. ie I lived in a home for 5 years when I had to replace a speaker in the wall. I found missing insulation, big time, and when I mentioned the "discovery that could not be found by a reasonable inspection" and mentioned the county inspection folks, they came right out and rebuilt the entire wall
good luck
Marty
