Construction Defects
A construction defect is a condition in your home that reduces the value of the home. Some defects are obvious such as water seepage, but many are less obvious and do not become apparent until years after the home was built. A construction defect can arise from a variety of factors, such as poor workmanship or the use of inferior materials.
Many arise from a combination of factors, including:
- Improper soil analysis and preparation
- Site selection and planning
- Civil and structural engineering
- Negligent construction
- Defective building materials
The most common types of defects involved in litigation include:
- Mold
- Water issues
- Landscaping and soil
- Faulty drainage
- Foundation, floor, wall and roof cracks
- Dry rot
- Structural failure
