HELP! Foundation issues on newish home!

[Kyle Falkenstein]

My wife and are stationed in Jacksonville, NC. I bought my current home in early 2013 and the house was built around September 2012. We were about to put the house on market when we started going through the house and pointed out to our realtor about this progressive ant trail showing on our laminate flooring. It also started cracking open the laminate. So our realtor told us to cut it open and then we soon found that this “crack” ran from one end of the foundation to the other end of the foundation and was starting to branch off the main crack. This crack is running under several walls and even our guest bathroom. Our realtor mentioned a law that is a 10 year structural damage builder warranty. We are worried that the builder is going to say tell us to piss off. If that’s the case would it be smart to take them to court or just pay all this out of pocket? Is anyone familiar with this law that could possibly save us??

Information on me:

-I’m the first owner of the home

-it's financed with a VA loan

-I’m in active duty military

-I’m trying to sell the house as soon as possible to buy a duplex. Also to get us into a stable living situation before my wife gives birth in 2 months (give or take).

Our realtor says she’s going to confront the builders about this situation and try to fight with them about it. I was just wanting some legal advice or someone who has possibly experienced a similar situation.
