Observation: The ground has settled around the foundation, over utility trenches, or in other areas.
Performance Standard: Settling ground around foundation walls, over utility trenches, or in other filled areas shall not interfere with water drainage away from the home.
Corrective Measure: If the remodeler has provided final grading, upon request by the owner, the remodeler will fill settled areas affecting proper drainage, one time only during the warranty period.
The owner will be responsible for removal and replacement of shrubs and other landscaping affected by placement of such fill.
