Florida is a hot, humid, and wet environment, making proper grading essential to protecting your home. Grading problems on your property can lead to severe water damage, structural problems, and costly repairs. Whether you own a luxury home or are a member of a condominium association, faulty grading can disrupt your life and drain your finances.
Dunedin grading issue litigation can feel complex. At Herman & Wells, we understand how overwhelming this situation can feel. Our experienced construction defect attorneys are here to help you address improper grading and secure the compensation you deserve.
Grading refers to the process of leveling and shaping land to ensure proper drainage away from the home. If performed incorrectly, water can flow toward your home rather than away from it, leading to:
In Dunedin, where heavy rains are common, grading problems can quickly escalate, so it is no wonder that they are among the leading causes of litigation. When grading defects arise, property owners are often left dealing with significant repair costs. Unfortunately, insurance companies may deny claims related to improper grading, leaving you to shoulder the financial burden.
Combined with the moisture and mold problems that problematic draining creates, poor grading can be a much more serious issue than many people realize. While many types of mold are relatively benign, or at least not toxic, they can still lead to property damage and allergy issues. Of course, in the worst-case scenarios, mold can present a health risk.
When someone else’s actions have led to these problems, it makes sense for them to pay to fix them. At Herman & Wells, we work with property owners to hold responsible parties accountable and pursue financial recovery.
