That's exactly what I am saying. They had it covered with big cabinets and book cases when I looked at the place and when the inspector was there. I looked for damage and couldn't find any. I noticed it when I moved in and thought it was odd and was about to call my realtor about it but it started leaking before I had a chance. Sent from my SCH-R970 using Tapatalk
They clearly knew then and hid it. By claiming they didn't know, they are already indicating that they have no intentions on paying to repair it it seems... Good luck man, hope you can come to a resolution without a long drawn out battle. Definitely a damper on the good feeling of just getting moved in I'm sure.
Yes it is. Won't be able to set up my man cave till this is fixed. Pissed lol Sent from my SCH-R970 using Tapatalk
Iowa Code 558A.4.2 - Sellors must fill out a disclosure statement COMPLETELY AND ACCURATELY to the best of their knowledge. Them cutting out segments of wall and painting the cement were attempts to repair. This makes their disclosure a fraudulent act. Take photos copies, a copy of their disclosure statement and estimates on the cost to repair to their realtor let them know if it has to be escalated, the amount will go up to cover attorney and court costs. If no resolution, take it to a lawyer.
Can you see any cracks in the walls or is it all drywalled? You definately have a disclosure issue here. I'd be on the phone ASAP.
There was 1 crack in the garage and we knew that but no water damage was apparent Sent from my SCH-R970 using Tapatalk
Did you not have a final walk through before closing? With all their furniture out of the place? It definately sounds like you have a case though...
My realtor left town for vacation the next day so I told her the issues I had found and told her I'd let her know if I noticed more. Sent from my SCH-R970 using Tapatalk
The only true fix for stuff like that is to dig down from the outside of the foundation and seal it. So that can be expensive and labor intensive. I hope this all works out for you.
This is not necessarily true .... grind and re-point with hydraulic cement works MOST of the time.... now there may be water pressure issues as well ...I am totally speaking thru experience here, unfortunately
crack in garage Drywall they rip out in garage. Only drain in basement. Section of Wall they "painted" Sent from my SCH-R970 using Tapatalk
That last picture it's not a crack running horizontally. That's a wire. Sent from my SCH-R970 using Tapatalk
