The Most Common Construction Defects Can Cause Lasting Damage
Construction defects can be hard to spot initially. Often, it is only after something goes wrong that a problem becomes apparent. This can mean that you do not notice serious habitability or use issues for months. For instance, it may take repeated heavy rains to notice drainage issues around the foundation of a building. Similar problems owners may notice include:
- Water intrusion
- Drainage issues
- Structural/Architectural errors
- Material defects
- Uneven flooring
- Electrical/Plumbing issues
If you’re dealing with defects impacting foundation drainage, soil stability, or other structural concerns, the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation provides important guidelines on building standards and compliance requirements. These standards help ensure that construction projects adhere to Texas regulations and that property owners have resources for recourse when defects arise. If you’re a property owner struggling with contractor disputes, warranty claims, or structural issues, understanding your legal options is crucial. The Texas Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Division offers resources for property owners seeking to hold contractors accountable and resolve defect claims.
When these problems arise, you must be proactive. The longer a problem persists, the worse the ongoing damage and the more difficult it may be to prove your case. Moreover, these cases can be very complex and involve many parties, like building companies, contractors, materials suppliers, and insurance companies. The sooner you take action, the better.
