The Warranty provides coverage to repair the foundation wall where water penetration occurs through foundation walls and threatens the comfort and beauty of a new home. The building envelope is the shell of the home, including the roof and walls. It is the separation between the interior and exterior environments of a building, which protects the indoor environments and facilities climate control. The act requires a minimum 5 years of coverage, with that requirement that warranty providers offer builders with the option of purchasing an additional 2 years of building envelope coverage.
