GA Disclosure Law


What is the name of your state? Georgia

We purchased a house in August of last year and three weeks afterward, our basement flooded. I contacted the seller the same day. She would not talk to me but rather her partner. He only wanted to talk about another issue we had which was a crack in the master shower. Which they only wanted us to try and have patched rather than fixing correctly. At that time I stated a patch would not be a fix, but we needed to have someone come in to look at the damage being done underneath the existing shower stall, but once again all they wanted us to do was to patch the stall. I also kept pushing the flooding in the basement and it seems to fall by deafs ear.

Everytime it rain we have water that pools and floods the basement and I mean everytime it rain. There's only one drain to catch the water and it completely useless.

I have already filed a small claims suit against her at which point she retained an attorney to resolve this matter, but the first thing he stated was he felt that we did not have a case for the flooding, but wanted to talk about the reapairs for the crack in the shower stall.

Help...

**A: level the playing field and hire your own attorney.
Almost half a year has gone by already with no results.
