Foundation Defect (error) – 4S Ranch houses – How to find easy such error?

[5yearwaiter]

Friend of mine recently visited one of the listed houses in 4S Ranch. Interestingly and lately fewer facts came up as the below listing got some cracks in the walls and as well in the kitchen ground(long line). A possible or sure case for “Foundation Defect” construction.

Why the listings don’t show up these full details and why this kind of facts hidden? Is this legal not to publish all these facts when buyers are trying to buy those homes after all trying to invest huge amounts. Near to the same vicinity of 4S Ranch there is another big row of house nearly 6 or 7 got hit Foundation defect and perhaps the builder take them off and started reconstructing those 6 houses, however one of the house that went into pre-foreclosure (or Bank owned) got sold with some sort of discounted prices click below listing

Now a big question is- if these many houses got hit Foundation defect and cross stone dr which is just bit away from that big chain means – is this entire area may be expected to get that kind of defects over the time period? Who is going to provide and publish this kind of information after all poor buyers trying to invest big bucks. How far this is fair not to publish such facts along with the listing details? Sounds to me this kind of all facts should be published in the listing(s)

Did anyone get any clues about how to find the foundation defects? How this can be traced? if we miss this finding, how long builder is responsible on this kind of construction defects of any home? such as Foundation defect or cracks in the walls.

Just because some homes in a particular neighborhood have foundation problems does not necessarily mean that all homes in the neighborhood will have foundation problems. Foundation problems (and related wall cracks) can be caused by a dozen or more different things, including, but not limited to, improper soil compaction, improper drainage, improperly installed or lack of moisture barriers, improper foundation installation, improper foundation concrete mix, improper design…. (the list goes on and on).

If a seller is aware of foundation problems (or any other problem for that matter), they must, by law, disclose those issues to a prospective buyer, but there is no requirement (that i’m aware of) to disclose those problems in the listing. If there are material defects which have been the subject of litigation, that litigation must also be disclosed.

These kinds of latent defects are now covered under Civil Code §896 & 897 for homes purchased by binding conract on or after 1/1/03. The statute of limitations for foundation issues is generally 10 years from original purchase from the builder (as it was under prior law also). The statute is shorter for some other components.

Hope this helps.
