Gas and Oil Home Heating Furnaces - AC work, Is it warranted?

Hello all!

First time to post here and boy is it a doosy. My wife and I just bought our first house back in July. Last month after a long weekend away we came home to find about 100 sq ft of wood laminate flooring warped at the seams.

It turns out that when we investigated further that the AC was leaking onto the slab and the water was getting under the floor. I was ok with this until I realized that whoever installed the AC did not apply any PVC glue to the pvc pipes leading into the drain. What would you do in this situation? Now it turns out that the approx 1000 sq ft of formica flooring in the house would have to be removed completely as they don't make this flooring any longer. So, is it an insurance job or call the AC people and see what they can do?

Thanks for any help and advice you can give!

Cheers,

Jason

You dont say is this a new home or not. Is this a new ac just put in? This should tell you who to get on to fix this;) ED

Thanks for the reply,

The house is an older house, but the AC is fairly new. I think within 2-3 years. I could understand if maybe the pipes came loose and broke thier seals with the turning on an off of the AC or slight vibration of the unit. However, there is absolutely no PVC cement on the pipes...well there is now. Maybe I should just give the AC people a call. I have all the receipts from the past owner.

Thanks for any other advice,

Jason

You can try but ill bet you have to go to your home owners ins.On any thing like that on the AC they only say a year on everything. After that its 4 more years on the compressor most of the time;) ED

Ellis5201:
I agree with Ed Imeduc in that you would be better to go after your insurance. It would be pointless to go after the original installer because of the time that has passed.
Besides, your insurance company would likely pay you out if you have coverage for this type of damage, and then try to recover from whoever is responsible.
Let them use their lawyers.
