At the end of June, we purchased the house we are currently living in. When we did the walk thru, we had noticed the floors seemed a little spongy. No where in the discrepency form filled out by the current owners at that time, were there any problems listed about the floors. The realtor recommended a inspection company to come out and inspect the house fully. We agreed, and split the cost of the inspection with the sellers. We also put into the offer that in the inspection revealed more than 2,000 dollars worth of damage/repairs, we would drop the offer. After the inspection, the inspector marked the floors of the house as Acceptable. So, based on this, we closed, took posession. A few days ago, we had a company come out to look at fixing the floors.. surprise. Our house has absolutely no center beam, and the entire weight of the floors, is supported on 2by16s, spanning over 12 feet long. this is far from acceptable. What is my option, can I sue? All repairs could cost up to $30,000!
