The engineers that were hired advised us that some problems would have been caught during each stage of inspection. These were internal findings discovered when they took sections off to see exact extent of water damage. Contractor was absolutely to blame but Inspectors passed things that should not have been. You would have to have been involved in the years of litigation to get the complete story and everyone pointing fingers at each other. These problems started showing up the year they were built 2005.

My understanding is that Georgia is a “buyer beware” state. That knowledge isn’t too helpful to those of us who are ignorant about construction and not handy. You can hire your own private inspector but even that has some limitations. Some go overboard and find so many minor issues that you are overwhelmed. Some seem to be mostly interested in helping realtors. And none of this is too helpful to folks who want to buy a condo in buildings that are too late to change. There’s not that many choices to be picky about in Decatur.
