Following a storm, one structure may be demolished, while neighboring structures remain intact and suffer minimal damage. Why? Did a construction defect make the former more susceptible to wind and/or water intrusion?
Following a storm, one structure may be demolished, while neighboring structures remain intact and suffer minimal damage. Why? Did a construction defect make the former more susceptible to wind and/or water intrusion?
