Loudon County Mold House
Feb. 4, 2009
Categorized in: New Construction
Tagged with: lawsuit, loudon county, mold, new construction

In case you missed it, there was an article in the Metro section of Sunday's Washington Post regarding a new home in Loudon County where there was a significant mold problem.

The family got sick and sued the builder. The family won and was awarded over $4 million.

People buy new construction, in part, because they believe they won't have to deal with problems like this. Buying new construction is no guarantee of anything!

The other thing to watch for out of this is an increase in paperwork. Real estate related lawsuits are inevitably followed by an increase in paperwork. There will surely be new mold disclaimers, especially in new construction.
