We care because
- it was not disclosed even though it was known so it is as if something is being covered up, and we specifically asked about water damage prior to the
disclosure and were told there weren’t any claims,
2.and because it is causing huge problems with getting insurance as insurance pulls a CLUE report that goes back 5 years on an address to see
what claims were made and we when we do locate places that will insure us it for an astronomical amount
3.and because black mold is a huge issue down here so many companies will not even touch you with a water damage claim.
- We are concerned we will get in the house and find black mold and will not ever be able to sell it, because we do not plan on living there forever.
Plus black mold is not covered by insurance and it would cost of thousands and thousands of dollars to remove it.
As far as we know it’s been corrected but we have no documentation stating what actually happened so we really have no way of knowing if it’s been
corrected. We specifically asked if there was water damage in the laundry room and we were told no. Then when the claims pulled up and we saw a huge
claim for 25,000 we were then told that the hose broke loose on the washer (that would be in the laundry room) and flooded the entire first floor. We just want answers, documentation so we can go into this without worries of the unknown. Saying you have water damage to your home here is almost like
saying your insulation is made of asbestos.
I should also mention the current owners have only lived in the house 11 months. My other concern is that if they didn’t disclose this what else are they not disclosing?
