City of Hutto Confirms Defective Lennar Homes
After Thursday nightâs City Council meeting some are saying the commonality of expansive soils problems and defective trusses are a major concern. Hutto Chief Building Official Daniel McDowell reported to the council that excessive mail pops, cracks in drywall, slabs and masonry are prevalent and that homeowners are complaining that Lennar Homes repairs are inadequate. McDowell found that excessive movement has caused increased stress loads to the building components due to expansive soil in the area; causing the structures to shift beyond normal tolerances causing the cracks. Angry homeowners steped to the podium complaining they obtained what they say are falsified HUD Builders Certification, form 92541, in which Lennar certified that the soil the homes were built on was not expansive.
