Do you deal with the homeowner that is having foundation issues and wants to go after the builder?

MissouriDefects

I am a homeowner of a Rolwes Home in Troy MO. We built our home in 2020. The day we moved in (after closing on the home) a diagonal crack in our foundation from top of wall to the floor that had leaked was pointed out to me by the builder. By the end of the first week we had a couple more cracks that were leaking. Speed up to today and we now have at least 40 plus cracks in our foundation and at least 10 to 12 that have been repaired for leaking. We have a 10 year warranty on our foundation. We have gone round and round with the builder. They have sent an engineer out 3 times. First time engineer said build up around the foundation. So they added dirt. Second time the same engineer said slope the yard more. So the remove all the dirt they put in plus some. The third time the same engineer is now blaming it on one piece of tubing that we have attached to our gutter that is perforated. This was not installed until after the second time he came out. The tubing runs out away from our home and is connected to a pop up. He also is blaming our rock in our landscaping. We did not alter the grade of the landscaping in anyway, but somehow now that is the cause. The rock was not put in until this summer and all the cracks were there before. I have lived in and been in homes much older than mine with no foundation cracks. Or maybe one to two. Nothing like what we have. How am I supposed to sell this house with the walls looking this way? We are not the only people on our street having issues with this builder. Foundation issues, driveway issues, etc...
