A Video Explaining how Water Intrusion can be a Construction Defect
What is Needed to Prove Construction Defects and Water Intrusion
Structures, whether residential or commercial, are expected to be watertight. The only water that should enter a structure is that which serves domestic water needs for baths, sinks, toilets, washing machines, dishwashers, and other water-using appliances.
Damages from water intrusion can range from a simple cosmetic fix¾repainting of walls or ceiling to total destruction of a structure. The types of damage from water intrusion that could result in a construction defect suit include:
stained walls, ceilings, or floors;
destroyed wall coverings;
destroyed floor coverings;
warped walls;
warped wood floors;
cracking, settling, or weakness in foundations;
settling of portions of the structure;
cracking of concrete flat work (slabs, sidewalks, etc.);
wet or dry rot of wood members;
mold infestation;
sick building syndrome;
bodily injury or illness to the occupants of a structure; or
destruction of contents or equipment in a structure.
