Sixteen homeowners in Georgia are suing D.R. Horton, claiming the builder sold them homes with defective plumbing that began leaking about four years after purchase.
Sixteen homeowners in the Stonewood Creek subdivision near Dallas, Georgia have filed a complaint with the American Arbitration Association accusing D.R. Horton of selling them homes with defective plumbing. All the homes contain cross-linked polyethylene pipes manufactured by Uponor Inc. The homeowners report that the pipes began leaking approximately four years after they moved in.
Matthew Ardis, who purchased his home in the subdivision in 2019, said he has repaired dozens of leaks. 'I stopped counting somewhere in the teens for a little while because they were coming one after the other, day after day,' Ardis said. He argued that D.R. Horton is responsible for the damage. 'They have the responsibility to provide me with a livable home,' he said.
Other homeowners described similar experiences and ongoing anxiety about the situation. Rosemary Pastula said it feels 'like a time bomb'. Yazmin Roman said the leaks have altered her daily routines because of worry about returning home to damage. The homeowners said the cost to repair the leaks has been significant.
