Construction: Foundation Defects

Jackson, Mississippi Construction Defect Lawyer

For most people their house is their most valuable asset. However, a house has more than just monetary value. It is home. With the increase in new home construction, developers, contractors, and sub contractors are searching for ways to reduce construction costs while increasing the construction speed. This can result in construction defects that turn your dream home into a nightmare. If construction defects are causing structural problems in your home, contact Rundlett Law Firm immediately.

The biggest construction problem in Mississippi involves home foundations. Much of the construction in northwest and southeast Mississippi, including Holmes, Hinds, Madison, Rankin, Smith, Scott, Newton, Jasper, Clarke, and Yazoo counties is done on Yahoo Clay. This is known by builders to significantly expand and contract in wet and dry conditions, causing significant foundation problems.

Unscrupulous builders often fail to remove Yahoo clay, reinforce foundations, and improperly prepare the foundation before building a home. Foundation defects can cause a wide range of structural problems, including cracked foundations, cracked walls, sticking doors, popping windows, and cracking bricks. Foundation problems can also result in mold problems that are known to cause serious health problems.

Fortunately for home owners, new homes come with a six year implied warranty. These warranties transfer to subsequent owners when a house is sold. In addition, if you have purchased an older home that has had foundation problems that were not disclosed, the former owner’s “non-disclosure” may entitle you to recover money damages for home defects.

We have significant experience handling Mississippi construction defect cases. Rundlett Law Firm seeks out all responsible parties, including the builder-developer, sub-contractors, engineers, and material and product suppliers to ensure you are compensated for construction defects.
