:confused: :mad:
I really don’t know where to start with the problems we are having at Bridgefield Condominiums.
We moved into our first brand new house in Mar 2008. No one has ever lived in this place and that is what we wanted so we would not have to deal with someone else’s problems.
3 days after we moved in we found mold in our bathroom and a leaking pipe. It was not at the joint were you might find the leak it was in the middle of the pipe. At that point we wanted to get out of the contract and find a different house but my family and lawyer said that we would have to give the company the opportunity to fix the problem. So we did, it took some time for all the fixes but it finally got done. They had to remove the wall, flooring and cabinets from our condo and the unit next door.
Then the company wanted us to sign a document to release them from any more responsibility for the mold and construction, and $2500 for our inconvenience, which we did not agree with. Again my lawyer and family told us not to sign it and we still have not been compensated for our time and trouble.
Now 9 months after the first mold and water leak problem we are going through it again, this time in the wall between the living room and kitchen and the two condos on the first and second floor. Again the leak is not at the joints but in the middle of the pipe. We have also heard that other units in the complex are having similar problems but I have not gone out to confirm this yet.
Today the contractors are suppose to find out what the results of the mold test are and then come and start taking out the wall between the living room and kitchen. The contractors were suppose to be here today to put up a containment tent around the wall but it is 1:00 and I have not seen or heard from them yet.
We are at our wits end because we should not have to be going through all this in a new home. And I would like to know if they are going to compensate us for our troubles.
If anyone can help or has a suggestion please let us know.
