Unfortunately, construction defects happen, whether a company cut corners, or an honest mistake occurred.
A construction defect is any issue that cheapens the value of your property. You don’t have to find the defect immediately, some defects can be dealt with five to 10 years later, but don’t hesitate to report it as soon as you find it. From poor drainage and structural cracks to leaky windows, dry rot, electrical and landscaping problems, there are a lot of different types of construction defects that can lead to a construction defect case.
When in court, the court will look at the defect and figure out what type it is: latent or patent. A latent defect appears years after the structure was built while a patent defect is an issue that is obvious immediately. Sometimes, an expert inspector will go to the site and give his opinion on the defect to the court.
The compensation you will receive for your defect depends on your case and it’s common that the responsible party will have to fix the defect, pay court fees, and compensate the homeowner for the loss of home value.
