Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Construction Defects Attorneys
Do you have a Construction Defect with your Home or Condominium?
Will your Home Owner's Insurance cover the Damage?
Will your Condominium Association cover the Damage?
Does the contractor have applicable Errors and Omissions coverage?
The attorneys at Halling & Cayo can help you determine the answers to these questions and more. Our attorneys have experience taking these specific issues all the way through trial, and are especially experienced in determining how and where the insurance company's liability lies and often take these types of cases on a contingency basis.
Construction defects can result in substantial costs for homeowners. A home is the single largest investment for most people, and construction defects can damage that investment and worse; significant construction defects, such as water damage or toxic mold can make the house uninhabitable...and unsalable.
Do you know if your insurance policy will cover the damage? Insurance contracts are complex and determining the extent of your coverage isn't easy. An experienced construction defect lawyer, who knows how insurance companies draft their policies and how to interpret the coverage provisions, is essential to ensure you are not wrongfully denied coverage.
If you live in a condominium, the answer may be even more complex, as the condominium association is responsible for insuring the structure and having any necessary repairs made. An experienced construction defect lawyer can help you sort of the maze of relationships, the type of damage and help you determine if compensation is available to help you with your damages.
Recognizing Construction Defects
If you have moved in recently, and discovered the defects, you may be able to obtain satisfaction from the contractor or developer. If the contractor has sufficient coverage from his Errors and Omissions insurance coverage, there may be sufficient funds available to repair your defects.

Mold, Erosion and Leaky Roofs - Construction Defects and Water Damage
Improper tucking techniques and poorly sealed or laid foundations can lead to water intrusion. As a result, water can seep in between walls and insulation, causing growth of mold and mildew. In other cases, improper grading can lead to water intrusion causing erosion in or around the foundation, creating structural weakness. At the law office of Halling & Cayo, we work closely with design engineers, construction experts and surveyors to expose defects, shortcuts and deviations from codes and regulations that lead to substandard construction and water intrusion.
