What is the name of your state? WASHINGTON
We recently bought a house from a 'contractor' who buys homes, fixes them and sells them. Although he did a good job on the woodfloors, etc., he put in a cheap shower kit which did not hold to the wallboard, and consequently leaked through our ceiling in the kitchen. When I broought this issue up to him, he said it was not his fault, but that it was the fault of the shower kit and calk.
He also admitted he did not know much about putting in shower kits, but that it was installed correctly, and he would not lift a finger or pay a dime for repair, and since we bought the house as is, he is not liable for anything. Is he legally bound to replace the apparatus with a properly functioning kit and pay for any associated damages?
