Row House Settlement Plagued by Persistent Moisture Issues, Court Finds
Homeowners in a row house settlement have been grappling with persistent moisture issues, leading to mold and uninhabitability. The developer, who constructed the properties with a 'white tub' moisture protection system, sold them with a ten-year rental commitment. Despite repairs, the problem persists, with recent court findings confirming ongoing moisture ingress.
The trouble began when moisture damage was discovered in further buildings constructed by the developer in subsequent years. An acceptance of the objects noted 'Basement floor partially wet' on the inventory and condition report. Despite this, the developer sold the properties with a closed residential rental agreement.
The plaintiffs, seeking answers, initiated an independent evidence procedure before the regional court. The court-appointed expert determined that both the basement floor and the staircase of their property are damp. Leak detection revealed water leakages in the plaintiffs' house in the area of the sewage lift.
The developer's 'white tub' design, intended for moisture protection, has failed to prevent water from entering the basements. The continuous floor slab and outer walls have not been sufficient to keep the high groundwater level at bay. Neighbors have also reported similar issues, with moisture damage affecting the basements and walls of their purchased homes.
The court findings highlight the ongoing moisture problems in the row house settlement. Despite the developer's moisture protection measures, homeowners continue to face issues that have rendered their properties uninhabitable. The source of the water ingress remains unclear, as no information is available about which realtor built the affected properties or when they were sold. Homeowners await a solution to this long-standing problem.
