Schoech Law Group has recently settled a single home lawsuit against a major California home builder in Placer County.  The case was filed nearly two years ago in Placer County Superior Court when the original homeowners of a single-family residence began experiencing construction failures, deficiencies and damages to personal property.  After reaching a road block in their negotiations with the builder, the homeowners contacted Schoech Law Group, who immediately sued the builder and aggressively sought resolution.  Schoech Law Group filed a lawsuit alleging the builder was liable on multiple basis, including defective product liability, negligence, breach of implied warranty, among others.

The defects included water intrusion through windows and doors, which resulted in water damage to other areas of the house including window sills, drywall and framing.  There were also multiple windows whose seals had broken resulting in fogging and staining of the glass, missing and cracked roof tiles, roof leaks, stucco cracks, and excessive concrete slab cracks, among others.

By way of the settlement, our clients will receive enough compensation from the builder to make repairs.  Because this case was handled on a contingency basis, the clients were never required to pay any out of pocket attorney fees through the pendency of the case.  Ultimately, fees were deducted only upon the receipt of the settlement funds.

If you have hit a brick wall with your builder and are tired of mere “band-aid” repairs or no repairs at all, call the construction defect law firm of Schoech Law Group at (916) 569-1940 for a free consultation with one of our experienced attorneys.

Managing partner and construction defect attorney, Matt Schoech, has filed a lawsuit on behalf of the owner of a Bay Area, multi-million dollar home in San Mateo County.  The custom home was built in 2005 and has a defective pool that is cracking and leaking, causing damage to the deck and surrounding areas that will cost the homeowner tens of thousands of dollars to repair.  Anderson | Schoech has retained a pool expert who recently conducted a preliminary inspection to evaluate the defective conditions.  The expert’s findings confirmed our client’s allegations of swimming pool defects.  The expert’s defect report will be used to prosecute our client’s lawsuit.

Does My Leaking Pool Warrant a Construction Defect Lawsuit?

If you suspect your pool is leaking and losing water or have noticed cracking within or around the pool a construction defect lawsuit may be warranted.  You may want to hire an inspector to determine how much damage there is and the cost to repair the defective pool.  Some leaks are quick and fairly affordable to repair without the need of litigation while other leaks may require the replacement of the entire pool.  Most experts will conduct tests to determine if the pool is leaking and may provide a formal report so that you can decide whether it is worth it for you to proceed with legal action against the pool contractor.  A construction law attorney at our office can help you make that decision and offer various legal options based on the specific details of your case.  Each situation is different so please consult with one of our attorneys.  Anderson | Schoech is experienced in litigating claims concerning swimming pool defects.  One of our most recent settlements for a defective pool case involves a custom pool that was leaking wherein the client received a favorable settlement including statutory attorneys’ fees.  Call us today at (916) 569-1940 to speak with a Northern California construction defect attorney at a no-cost consultation.

How Do I Know If My Property Has Construction Defects?

Before we can answer this we must first define a “construction defect.”  A “construction defect” is a legal term of art that requires expert opinion to determine.  Typically it involves negligent construction or design of a building component or it could involve defective products or materials.  Typically you can recover for construction defects if those defects are causing damage to other building components or if the defective component is still under warranty with the builder.  Defects in a property can include:

• Water intrusion through leaky windows
• Roof leaks and ceiling stains
• Interior drywall cracks or stucco cracks
• Foundation/soil movement under or near building
• Cracked foundation and slabs
• Plumbing, mechanical, or electrical system failures
• Swimming Pool Losing Water

Look around your property to see if you are experiencing any of these problems or anything else that does not appear to be right with the construction of your home.  Talk to you neighbors and it is very likely that they may be experiencing similar problems.  If you have found construction issues that your builder/contractor is unwilling to repair, call and speak with an experienced  construction attorney at Anderson | Schoech to learn your legal rights. 

We provide free consultations to frustrated property owners and will evaluate your potential claim.  We handle the majority of our cases on a contingency fee basis so if there is no recovery, there is no fee!  Call us at (916) 569-1940 or email Matthew R.
