WHAT IS AN EMERGENCY?
Certain severe conditions constitute an emergency situation. An emergency is defined as any warrantable deficiency within the control of the builder that, if not attended to immediately, would likely result in imminent and substantial damage to the home, or would likely represent an imminent and substantial risk to the health and safety of its occupants.
Examples of emergency situations include:
• Total loss of heat between September 15 and May 15*
• Gas leak*
• Total loss of electricity*
• Total loss of water supply*
• Total sewage stoppage*
• Plumbing leakage that requires complete water shut-off
• Major collapse of any part of the home’s exterior or interior structure
• Major water penetration on the interior walls or ceiling
• A large pool of standing water inside the home
• Any situation where the home is considered uninhabitable for health or safety reasons
*Emergency situations due to the failure of a municipality or utility to provide the service are not within the builder’s control.
NEW HOME WARRANTY
Understanding Your New Home Warranty and After Sales Service.
Each Stonebridge Building Group home is built with care, quality materials and professional craftsmanship. While we strive to construct each home without deficiencies, your new home is a complex project and minor items will occur that need correction. There is a set of procedures and documents provided by TARION to help record and correct warranted deficiencies.
Please use this page as a reference in understanding your role in the warranty process. Links will be provided throughout this page directing you to supplemental information on the TARION website.
WHAT DOES A NEW HOME WARRANTY COVER?
New home owners benefit from One Year Warranty Protection and Two Year Warranty Protection against defects in work and materials, and Seven Year Warranty Protection against major structural defects (MSD).
Warranty coverage begins on the date of possession of a home, and remains in effect until the end of the warranty period, even if the home is sold before the warranty expires.
BEFORE YOU TAKE POSSESSION
Each new Stonebridge Building Group homeowner is provided with a new homeowner information package. This package includes home warranty information from TARION WARRANTY CORPORATION, which explains homeowner rights and responsibilities under the Ontario New Home Warranties Plan Act.
Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI)
Before you take possession of your new home, we conduct a pre-delivery inspection, or PDI.
A PDI is one of your first opportunities to view your completed home. Our site supervisor will guide you through a comprehensive inspection and can demonstrate how to operate the home’s systems such as the ventilation, plumbing and heating.
Any item that is damaged, incomplete, missing or not operating properly should be noted on the builder’s PDI Form to verify that these conditions existed prior to occupancy. If something has not been installed or completed, this should be noted as well. When the inspection is over, you will be asked to sign the PDI Form.
You may wish to print a copy of the TARION PDI Checklist of the brochure, Getting Ready for the Pre-Delivery Inspection to help guide you through the process.
Note: To maintain your TARION warranty you must also send a copy of your 30 day and year end list to Tarion.
30 Day Service
The PDI provides an opportunity to record your home’s condition before you move in. Any issues should be noted on a PDI Form. The PDI Form does not represent a request for warranty service, so if you fail to note an item it does not necessarily impact your warranty coverage. However, if the problem concerns a damaged or missing item, it may be difficult to establish that this condition existed before you moved in if it is not noted on the PDI Form.
Should you require warranty service you can register with My Home, TARION’s online warranty service or obtain a copy of this form from TARION. Ensure you submit a copy of the completed form to the Stonebridge Customer Service within the first 30 days of possession.
ONE, TWO AND SEVEN YEAR WARRANTIES
In addition to deposit protection and delayed closing compensation, homeowners may be entitled to the following:
One Year Warranty
The builder warrants that, for one year from the date of possession the home is free ‘from defects in work and materials, is fit to live in, and meets Ontario Building code requirements.

Seven Year Warranty
This coverage is for major structural defects (MSD) as defi ned by the Warranty Act. A major structural defect is the failure of a load-bearing part of the home’s structure or any defect in material or workmanship that materially or adversely affects the use of the building as a home. Claims for a major structural defect are to be sent directly to Tarion Warranty Corporation after the second year of occupancy.
