Austin, TX asked in Real Estate Law for Texas

Q: Do I have a case if any kind if I believe I was sold a home strucurally defective?

Everytime it rains I get water in my house through the walls not the roofing. I had an adjuster from my home insurance USAA come out to assess damages which he says USAA may not want to repair due to this being an ongoing persistant problem I noticed this aprox. 5 years ago when I changed over to hard floors vs carpet and several times reporting it to USAA but they wanted no part because they stated they cannot cover water other than water coming from roofing. My question is can I go after previous owners or the so called home inspectors who approved house to VA to release check to finance my home?

A: Possibly. You should consult an attorney immediately, because (since it's been some five years), a statute of limitations may be coming up soon.
