When you’re in the market for a new property, the last thing you should have to worry about is whether your property was built correctly. Unfortunately, this is not an uncommon problem. In an effort to cut costs, builders will quickly erect buildings using a number of shortcuts that ultimately compromise the quality and value of the property. While some defects are obvious, such as water damage, other types of defects may not become apparent until several years after the property was built.
Common examples of issues construction defects can cause are:
- Roof leaks
- Mold
- Wood rot
- Plumbing and drainage issues
- Window leaks
- Water intrusion
- Foundation defects and structural cracking
- Electrical problems
- Cracked or crumbling stucco
- Heating and electrical problems
Common causes of construction defects include:
- Inferior materials
- Poor workmanship
- Negligent construction
- Errors in site selection and planning
- Errors in structural and civil engineering
