how long is a new home warranty?
 

I lived in my house three years, and just discovered the shower pan
has been leaking because it was installed stupidly. Anything that
could be wrong about it IS wrong. While I'm looking for the warranty
paperwork, ... what's the chance of getting the builder back to rip
out the shower and build it right? If I can prove the shower pan was
put in as ignorantly as I say it was, could it be that the warranty is
irrelevant and he has to fix it anyway?

Warranty time can vary from builder to builder and state to state. Find that
paperwork.

No, he'd not have to fix it anyway. Since none of us can see how it was
installed, we can't say if it was stupid or not.

Depends on your paperwork. Any advice would be mere guesswork and conjecture
until you tell us what the paperwork says.

In China, probably 30 days if your lucky... You are in China, right?

Here in Calgary the average is 5 years, but it's not an automatic thing. You
CAN get a house without the warranty.

Chances might be good.

On Mondays I always had a wet carpet on the first floor(corner). SWMBO
used tub above..Sunday evening. Turns out a rubber collar/sleeve on a
black drain pipe was not installed correctly.

The builder in warranty, ripped the walls enough for the repair of the
pipe. They fixed it.

Your builder may speak another set of terms. Got Papers?

My house had a one year warranty. Yours may be different, or the
builder may just fix it out of good will.

Here in MN, it's dictated by state law: 2 years for everything, 10
years for major structural.
