Non-disclosure, toxic mold, dishonest, water damage, foundation problems, stachybotry's

We moved into our house on April 19th. The first night we lived here it rained and the basement leaked. Our entire house is filled with toxic and allergenic molds. We have spent over $14,000 to have the foundation repaired but it still has nearly two dozen places where the rain continues to come in.

When we bought this house it looked like a beautiful brand new home even though it is a 20-25 year old house. The O'Connor's had replaced all the carpeting, baseboards, doors, ceiling tiles, kitchen, laundry room and bathroom floors, painted everything upstairs and down (right over the mold I guess), new garage doors, new driveway, new paint on the outside of the house, some new windows, new patio doors, well, just like she said in her MLS listing "new everything".

Since we have been here we found out the reason why everything was replaced. The windows leaked and had wood rot, the carpet was full of cat urine and filth, the walls were written all over and moldy, the ceiling tiles molded, the doors? Who knows. The driveway had sunk 8 inches, the patio doors leaked and the previous owner used to put saran wrap with tape on it to keep the wasps and rain out, some of the baseboards were molded and saturated with cat urine and on and on.

The work they had done on the house is a mess. The paint is peeling off the outside of our house, the driveway is cracking up, we have found out the fireplace is a fire hazard and it also rains in the fireplace every time it rains and the wind blows just a little, The kitchen and laundry room ceramic tile have grout falling out of it everywhere, the carpet is all unraveling, two of the new windows don't open and close correctly, and everything that was in the basement and hall bathroom is completely gone from when we had it remediated.

The O'Connor's disclosed nothing to us about the foundation problems, the condition the house had been in when they purchased it, nothing about the mold, the firplace, the fact that cats had used the entire house as a litter box.

We have now discovered that they knew the house had mold and that they had also hired a foundation man to repair some cracks in the basement.
