Valencia Creekside Homes Slipping Away

Creekside Somerset Homes Have Faulty Foundations

Homeowners in the Creekside Somerset development by Warmington Homes are experiencing a sinking feeling as their foundations slip away due to inadequate soil compaction and improperly finished foundations.

Several homes in the development have reported troubles with foundation cracking and separating in the interior and exterior walls, and backyard gates that have become difficult to open or close. These include homes on Willowbrooke Ct. in Valencia. The last "new" home on this street is currently in escrow, scheduled to close later this month.

According to homeowners, Warmington is attempting to put a Band-Aid on the situation by injecting cement material into the foundational earth of the house to firm the soil, a solution referred to as compaction grouting.

Homeowners are concerned that this won't be enough, especially in the event of an earthquake.
