Understanding Construction Defects

A construction defect is any flaw or failure in the design, materials, or workmanship that reduces a property’s value or safety. These defects can appear immediately after completion — or take years to become visible.

Common types of construction defects include:

Structural issues such as foundation cracks or shifting
Roof leaks
and water intrusion
Plumbing, drainage,
or HVAC failures
Electrical
system hazards
Faulty windows,
doors, or insulation
Mold, rot, or
moisture problems
Poor workmanship
or code violations
Design or
engineering errors

Even small defects can escalate into major safety hazards and significant repair costs if ignored. Our attorneys work closely with engineers, inspectors, and construction experts to uncover the root cause and determine liability.
