hausdok Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 This story in the Arizona Republic is about a homeowner who was advised to get a home inspection but opted not to. Now that large fissures have opened up in her yard due to soil subsidence, she's suing. you can't please everbody all the time - you can only please some of the people some of the time.

Focal Point Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 Even if she did get an inspection, how could the inspector possibly be held accountable. Seismic activity is outside the scope of the inspection. I don't know about you but I DO NOT inspect the yard. Sucks to be her but maybe her insurance will step in.

Brian G Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 She thinks the sellers (and the realtors) knew about the problem and purposely kept quite about it. If she can prove that she has a case; if not she's wasting good money after bad for legal fees. It seems odd to me that these "fissures" happen when they get rain. Around here the problem soils shrink and crack open when they get dry. Brian G. Go Figure [:-boggled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
