foundation damage on faulty sprinkler

Hello guys,

The builder installed a faulty sprinkler timer causing water to run continuously for uncertain period of time in the front lawn during construction. The water meter shows 111 kilolitres of water used from the last reading. The lawn is all soggy with plants destroyed.

Can this incident cause foundation damage?

What due diligence do I need to do to ensure the structure is still sound?

Can I have the builder pay the water usage since the incident happened before handover annd I was not at fault?

Thanks for your thoughts.

Water getting into foundation material is never a good thing however you may or may not have damage.
You should have your home properly inspected or assessed to see if anything needs to be done.
What state are you in?
As for water, send the bill and see what happens

Dear building expert,

I am currently in Victoria.

What type of assessor needs to inpect the foundation?

Thank you for you reply.

Any good building consultant should be able to inspect and prepare a report for you.
If you did not have independent inspection during construction it makes sense to have one now for you don't know if anything else is amiss. Or you can call me.
