You caught me .

Naaa...I really just keep chewing on this .
These are the sort of things that get under my skin because this type of builder/G.C. makes it difficult for those of us who really are trying to look out for our customers.
Kicking thoughts around with another builder , HI , and potential customers can only benifit me.
I can't say that I've ever thought about doing a sub-standard job just so I can line my pockets .The best pocket liner I can get is a satisfied customer who will refer me over and over.
As for the builder who say's that problem can be fixed , I'd like to watch.I'll set up a grill and two chairs, (you're invited ).
As far as a home inspectors point of view , If this was inspected "pre-sale" and before the failure was there , I would feel extremely sorry for that inspector because there is no way the inspector would have seen that.So guess who else's phone would be ringing ?

O.K. I'm done now.

These Poor People Don't Need A Hi , They Need A Lawyer!

Cheremie;

If you got the grill, I'll bring the Hot Dogs and Hamburgers and a cold pack, mabe two, watching this Builders easy fix might take a while. ha. ha.

Guys,

They do have a lawyer in this case. The problem is the builder does not want to give in. He thinks he can "fix" the problem. We all know better.

So far all I have given the attorney is comtaminated soil, no vapor barrier, contaminated termite treatment. Hopefully if he learns he is in for a fight he might relent and run with his tail between his legs.

I'm also wondering how the nine holes he cut in the slab will effect the performance of the slab.

In Florida you must identify the code violation for a SS558 notice and the contractor has a specifed time to answer, 30 days plus, before you can cause an action in the courts.
It is not as easy to get out of these contracts as you would think. We are not talking about loosing a few thousand down here, usually tens to hundreds of thousands.

Maybe by then the ground will just swallow the house and destroy the evidence.
What house???
