You will need to secure a copy of the warranty agreement. Tell the warranty department if you are forced to file a small claim then you are going to ask the court that the warranty department provide at minimum a 10 year history of all warranty claims applying to concrete defects or claims by residents
Wouldn't you do this after the Warranty Department said NO?
Seems to me this would be approaching the issue with vinegar and not sugar.
Isn't the only guarantee you get with concrete is that it will crack?
