Common Construction Defects
There’s a considerable number of homes in the United States and beyond that are simply not built to withstand the wrath of storms. The result of this is that water starts to leak into areas where it shouldn’t be. This often marks the onset of problems relating to water intrusion and damage.
In case water intrusion is left unattended for a prolonged period, toxic mold will likely form. This could lead to not only health issues for the inhabitants but also structural damage ranging from stained walls and electrical issues to warped floors and rotting wood. A home that degrades in such a way will gradually decline in value. It’s even possible that the water damage will compromise the structural integrity of your home that it becomes a money pit.
If you are facing any of the issues mentioned above, or the builder isn’t willing to work towards a reasonable solution, it’s time to seek legal help.

Where necessary, we can represent you in other legal proceedings, including mediation, arbitration, and court trials.

Stucco Defects
Applying stucco can potentially result in numerous omissions and errors on the part of the builder, most of which can qualify as negligence. For instance, failing to install windows and doors properly and failing to integrate expansion joints to prevent cracking are quite common errors in home and office construction work.
Water Damage
When the builder spends as little as possible resources to protect their bottom line or meet a specific deadline, the quality of the work is likely to be compromised. Even using low quality building materials or relying on poorly trained workers can leave the house vulnerable to water intrusion. Poorly designed or installed gutters can also make it easy for water to intrude your home.
Toxic Mold
Home construction negligence can potentially lead to environmental conditions that encourage the growth of mold. While there’s a tiny bit of mold present in almost every home, significant growth of mold is harmful to human health. As such, all homes should be inspected properly to ensure they’re constructed up to code.
Foundation Cracks
In case the builder doesn’t prepare the soil properly before pouring in concrete and goes on to grade it without performing the necessary compaction for the right density, it will prove loose and porous. Every builder is obligated to perform their due diligence and use reasonable skill to provide the homeowner with a quality house.
