Construction Defect Litigation — Custom Home

Overview

A luxury custom home in Dana Point was experiencing widespread window flashing failures, causing extensive water damage to the interior envelope. The original developer and sub-contractors denied liability, blaming inadequate owner maintenance.

The Challenge

The defense argued that the water intrusion was due to lack of routine caulking and maintenance by the homeowner. The plaintiff needed concrete, technical proof that the original installation violated the architectural plans and building codes.
