With the house sitting on an artificially created mound (and shoddily created at that by Consort's own admission), and soil being pulled and eroded from below, we've noticed issues inside the home that very well may be related. We suspect they are as they became evident at the same time the lot started drastically collapsing in the rear.
This crack is one of many in the basement. Yes, it may be within "the norms" allowed by the concrete industry, but what is interesting is that it appeared so drastically within a year of the home having been built, AND that it corresponded--in terms of time of appearance--to the drastic drop in our back lot. This crack goes clear through to the outside of the property. Cracks on the opposite wall correspond--again interesting because they follow a line outside of the most severe drop in soil.
This is a classic case of the "little guy" battling corporate interests. It's our commitment to make sure that builders like Consort will not get away with unethical, negligent, even malfeasant behavior in their pursuit of quick profit. While they turn over their shoddy product, and bring in cash, the home buyer loses re-sale value. Again, where is our compensation for value lost? The relentless pursuit of profit translated to Consort selling lots that SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN SOLD FOR HOMES.
Consort--you can't trivialize this any longer. We will get the word out.
