Rampant water intrusion into Stanley Martin homes in the Belmont Bay community. Most have been repaired, some 4 or 5 times, including mine – but some still leak, like mine and two of my neighbors. Whenever it rains for a long period of time or wind-blown rain, we have water intrusion into our homes. The intrusion appears to be coming in through the exterior brick veneer sidings and into the tops of the window sills. I have enlisted the services of professional engineers and an architect to determine source of problem and recommended solution (see below). Initial findings indicate blatant disregard for both International Residential Codes and Virginia Building Codes. Most of these code violations would have been found if the county code inspectors had actually inspected the homes during initial construction (in 2001). Water intrusion can cause structural failure, toxic molds/mildews, termites and health problems. Shortly after moving into this home, I was diagnosed with pneumonia. I am very healthy and work out everyday. My dog almost died from anemia (cause unknown) and I had to spend $1,500 to save her life.

Leaking Homes in Belmont Bay, Woodbridge, VA 22191

Posted 10-02-2008 at 01:00 PM by LeakingStanleyMartinHomes (House of Pain - My Leaking Stanley Martin Home)

I am a Soldier in the Army and I will be deploying to Iraq in February. I bought a 2001 Stanley Martin built townhome from the original owner, in Belmont Bay (Woodbridge, VA) the summer of 2006. Since I moved in, rainwater has been leaking into the house causing thousands of dollars in water intrusion damage, mold, and mildew. Only after I discovered the leak did I learn that the home had been leaking since it was built and the previous owner knew it, but did not disclose it to me. In fact, the...
