Schumacher has a warranty on the house. If you find anything at all for the first year, they come fix it. (They also come back once to touch up paint. You decide when and schedule it.) There is a 2 year warranty on all mechanicals and a ten year warranty on everything structural.<\/p>\n

Quick Fix – Temporary so it stops bubbling into the carport<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We called and Schumacher sent someone out who gave us a quick fix. He disconnected the drainpipes and put in temporary pipes to direct the water away from the carport. Then they scheduled the repair.<\/p>\n

What they marked crossed right over where our drain pipes were. I am betting that’s what happened to them…<\/p>\n
