Wavy foundation?

[Mach1]

Just purchased a new 2014 built home, when I walk around I feel drunk because the foundation feels wavy, neighbors feels the same way, is that the norm with these new homes with a PT slab? All kinds of little things with this new home, they don't build em like they used to!

You won't feel the foundation moving. Sounds more like flooring issues to me.

My post tension does not feel that way - concur with juiceweezl

Sounds like he's describing high and low spots in the foundation

Under carpet? Some dont scrape the floors before they lay it.

You should be slapped for saying carpet.

Yep

Do you feel it with all floor surfaces?

Our tile and wood installers float/grind the floor level before laying those floor coverings. Carpet, they scrape the drywall mud and other crap off and lay it.

Only a couple of times have I felt major changes in the floor under carpet. Both times it was a low spot.

Keep in mind, the slab is hand floated/troweled. There is definitely going to be some high/low spots though they shouldn't be as noticable as what you are describing.

Sounds like they didn't grind the slab

Carpet only, it's pissing me off, I wonder if my new home warranty covers them pulling the carpet and floating the floors.

If you built it brand new, then yes the new home warrant will cover it. If your talking about a warranty company like AHS or one of those fuck sticks, forget about it...

It should. We would definitely be pulling carpet and floating/scraping floors.

Looks like the warranty says 1/4" over 36"
I hope the builder is ready to pull some carpet!

So do you guys think this is just sloppy work or maybe a bigger issue with the foundation? The whole house pretty much feels like this, I frequently find myself tripping on the high spots and trying to find my balance just standing on the carpet.
