Q: I closed on 9/14/18, carpets in finished basement were soaked and house has foundation leaks. They didn't disclose this.
Standard disclosure, C12 said no damage to foundation, never mentioned any wet carpets to us. 3 weeks prior there were huge storms the day after inspection was done. What rights do I have. I have 2 quotes from mason pros of $5,000 and $7,500. They need to rip out the finished basement to do the job, and that doesn't even Cover the basement being refinished to purchased condition. I need help!
A: This has been a tough year for water damage. If you can prove that the Seller knew about prior problems then you have a strong claim. Most of these claims should be brought within the first two years to preserve your various statutes of limitations. I recommend you contact Atty John Laubmeier in Madison WI at the Stroud firm. He does a lot of this work and is good at assessing your claims.
