New Homeowner Nightmare – Need Advice

[kewp]

I think you are very, very lucky the builder took responsibility.

[Peace]

You bet the house is devalued – because you will always know what happened and wonder if there are any long term results (like hidden mold).

For my own peace of mind I would be on that worksite all the time and watching how it is being fixed.
Just because the builder is playing nicey-nicey doesn’t mean he will any more than just fix what the eye can see.

So I would get alternate accomodations as near as possible and make myself a constant observer – that is the only way you can “value” the property again and be assured, when you go to sell it, that it was not devalued.

The builder had a construction defect that was covered under their warranty, and they are honoring the terms of that warranty. I think that asking for cash above and beyond your contractual agreements is unseemly at best.

This was an accident, a fluke. If the damage is adequately repaired then there’s no reason for anyone to think this can ever happen again because of this accident.

The one thing I would suggest is that you persuade the company to pay for a home inspection by an outside home inspector of your choice. Look around until you can find one that has some expertise with the infrared scopes. They can use the infrared to “look” through the walls and floor coverings to see if there are any remaining areas of moisture. If there are going to be any further complications from this accident, it’ll probably be moisture-related.

Such an inspection is not expensive and given the circumstances the builder will probably be happy to cooperate. If they don’t pay for the inspection, get one anyways and considered it a small price to pay for your piece of mind.

My aging parents purchased a new home.

That itself is an interesting statement in these days of still high prices. What was their motivation? Mortgage interest deduction would be unlikely. How did they conclude owning is better than renting at their age?
