Can I sue for damages?


What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Arizona
I recently bought and moved into my first house and ended up with the ceiling leaking on the first floor. It turns out that the way the air conditioning air intakes are arranged in their closets on the second floor that the drip pan does not collect the water that comes off the coils causing water to leak down to the first floor. The a/c guy called the manufacturer and they said, "that's just the way they're made" and there is no fix for this. REALLY?? So now I have bucket sitting in there that I periodically have to empty and a ruined first floor ceiling. How does that make sense? If their product is defective and has caused damages in my house, shouldn't they have to pay for that?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?

A/C's are DESIGNED to overflow when the tray is full. This sounds more like an installation problem.

I believe when you purchase a house the seller is legally required to provide information about problems with the house. This would be one of those problems they would have to disclose. I would suggest contacting the real estate agency you purchased from.
