Basement Flooding?
The HOA received the following information from one of the homeowners regarding flooding in basements due to faulty window installation: Please read it to see if this may apply to your home!
"About two months ago my neighbor had significant flooding due to his basement window well collapsing and his drain not being installed correctly to pump the water out of the well. This was the window that uses the vinyl walls and acts as a fire escape. Today I went outside to notice that my window well was beginning to shift and I contacted Atlantic Builders to come out and take a look at it. Turns out the installers used nails in the brackets that fastens the wall to the foundation of the house, they did the same thing on my neighbors house. They were supposed to use bolts which add significantly more support. Atlantic is going to have the installers come out and refasten the brackets, any home owners who have these fire escape type windows may want to go and inspect their window to ensure that it was bolted in and not nailed. Better safe then sorry, if these go unnoticed and not inspected they could end up with major flood damage in their basements."
