It is not normal for new homes to have excessive cracking in the walls within the first year. Expansive soil or geological abnormalities should be suspected if you have had excessive wall cracking. Some Arizona soils are prone to shifting, but with proper soil and pad preparation during initial construction, cracking should be minimal. If it is not, that is usually a sign of improper soil preparation and poor workmanship.

The Arizona construction defect attorneys at Carmichael & Powell have had great success in recovering financial damages for misrepresentation and breach of contract. We access construction and geological experts to assess the cause of your home problem and to provide a complete and accurate accounting of your losses in terms of diminished home value, cost of repairs, and loss of use and enjoyment.

Your Carmichael & Powell real estate attorney works on a contingency fee basis for most construction defect cases. This means that we charge no attorneys fees unless we obtain money on your behalf.
