My Girlfriend bought a house a little over a year ago, the home was inspected by a home inspector from the bank. I am a licensed journeyman carpenter so I know some about water damage/rot. (The house was bought before I met my Girlfriend.)
I found the sink in the bathroom was leaking under the tile floor and had completely rotted the bathroom floor and several structural floor joists, it was obvious as a builder this had been leaking for several years. We repaired that.
Now we have had some hard rain, I noticed some water leakage from the attic, upon further inspection I found several leaks and water damage that is obviously has been leaking for a long time. I can see that the roof shingles were installed incorrectly.
What can we legally do in this matter?
