Construction Defects

Building any structure is a long and complicated process. There are many variables to consider, and there are more than a few contractors who skip some necessary steps to ensure that their projects come in on schedule and under budget. Other times unscrupulous builders may skim money from their budgets, diminishing the standards of quality throughout the project.

Some construction defects can exist for years without the owner noticing. Some build up over time until they threaten not only the stability of the structure but the health and lives of those who occupy it. Unfortunately many unscrupulous contractors attempt to discharge their obligations by refusing to take responsibility for their shoddy craftsmanship. The lack of accountability in the construction industry makes pursing lawsuits against these reprehensible people extremely difficult.

Black Mold

There are many types of black molds that can threaten the health and safety of your family. The Stachybotrys and Memnoniella varieties produce what are called mycotoxins - chemicals that can aggravate asthma, allergies, and cause serious long term negative health effects. If left undisturbed, black mold can quickly overwhelm and infest a structure and render it useless. In some cases extreme cases the structure must be destroyed altogether.

Mold-related illnesses have become a popular news topic in recent months due to the rise in the number of seriously injured people who suffered long term health damage. Water can seep into the frame, paneling, insulation, and ceiling tiles, or any other absorbent material. Rocks can even support these dangerous molds, and frequently these molds spread to furniture, clothing, and rugs, creating an atmosphere of illness and danger.

You need to stand up for your rights against those responsible for the dangerous situation that you’ve been put in, and an experienced construction attorney can help you breathe easier today.

Faulty Foundation

The foundation of a building is often the most important yet most frequently overlooked aspect of construction. Without a sturdy foundation to support a structure, everything built on top of it is at risk of damage or collapse, possibly endangering the lives and safety of all those who occupy it.

Although checking the foundation before building is one of the primary jobs of contractors, many fail to inspect it for all potentially dangerous variables that could lead to problems in the future. It is particularly unfortunate when homeowners discover that their dream house suffers from a faulty foundation due to the carelessness or negligence of the contractor or building inspector.
