Utah couple say $600,000 home is being torn apart by huge cracks - some multiple inches wide - for shocking reason after their warranty expired

A Utah couple claims their new luxury home is falling apart as huge cracks have appeared on their walls and driveway.

Rob and Tammy Anderson purchased their dream home in Eagle Mountain for $600,000 in November 2021.

Soon they realized small issues like the paint was thinning and there was small cracks in the driveway, the couple told ABC4.

The couple noticed there were also cracks in the basement walls and their front stairs and driveway appeared to be sinking into then ground. 

But the home's issues worsened over the last weeks, as construction began on a park that borders their backyard.

Unfortunately for the Andersons, by the time they noticed the concerning changes, their warranty had expired

'It has gotten so bad that we can’t shut our gate,' Tammy told ABC4. 

'Everything is completely uneven.'

At one point Tammy reportedly tripped and broke her classes because a portion of the concrete in the front of the home started sinking.

Unfortunately for the Andersons, by the time they noticed the concerning changes, their warranty had expired.

The couple also noticed cracks in the stucco cement siding of their home and even on the deck.

Tammy said: 'It’s been very stressful for him, because he is here all day, and feels it and sees it — literally our home, falling apart and sinking.'

Rob also says compaction machine used by the construction workers caused vibrations that felt like 'mini earthquakes every day' in their home.

The couple considered painting over the cracks until they realized the size of the cracks was increasing and reaching as far as the home's foundation and the outside gates.

While they are not completely sure what is causing the cracks in their home, the couple received a letter from the house's builder where the company says it believes the cracks are due to the construction at the park and improper drainage.

The company, Alpine Homes, however, said the improper drainage was caused by separate contractors the couple hired.

Alpine Homes also said the park construction work 'exacerbated' the conditions.

City communications manager Tyler Maffitt told ABC4: 'We consider this a civil matter between the property owner and the developer.'

Maffitt added that the developer was the one to hire the building, and the city has played 'very little role' in the project.

'It is the responsibility of the developer to improve that park and to finish its completion,' he said.
