New Home Has Water Damage
After repeated fixes, a homeowner still has water problems in his basement. In some states, a homeowner may have a right to pursue an action against the builder, in others, the time in which you could have brought your case against the builder might have expired.

One trend that came through loud and clear is that new home buyers aren't interested in cookie cutter construction. They're interested in features that give them the feeling they've stepped up from their last home. So new quiet doors that shut out the sound of your teenager's music habit, to more custom cabinetry, copper accents on windows and waterfalls that hang on the wall.
Report Bad Builders To Local Authorities
After buying a newly built home, a couple discovers many problems and has a missing builder. The local county commissioner will be a big help in getting the builder to make the repairs. If the builder is doing any new construction in the county, and if the commission finds a pattern of problems with the builder's homes, have the commissioner's office yank his building permits. That should put him in serious enough financial trouble to get his attention.
