Hello everyone,
after being basically very satisfied with our house construction, I have recently noticed some defects more frequently. A forgotten ventilation in the guest bathroom (still under clarification) and a few minor things (really just minor things).
Now last week I noticed an issue that I also need to clarify. I saw that there are damp spots starting from the slightly protruding basement wall (serves as a garage and is accordingly open to the street side). I then climbed up to the small front roof of the cladding. I took a watering can with me and poured some water onto the roof. I noticed that the roof tiles have an increasingly larger gap to the gutter along their length. Where it is damp, most of the water does not flow into the gutter but inward. (Pictures are attached and probably depict the situation better than I can describe it :-) ).
Since I have already paid in full, unfortunately, despite several phone calls, emails, etc., I am not getting any response. I have now written a notice of defects and would like to send it. This means that after always kindly asking for feedback until now, I now want to approach the matter a little more assertively. And here I also perhaps see the building structure somewhat at risk. Maybe someone can tell me if and how the situation can be fixed and whether it is a big effort.
In picture 1 you can see the effect.
In pictures 2 & 3 the spots where dripping water practically bends inward and flows inward.
In picture 4 then the situation as it actually should be.
Thanks and best regards
