Common Construction Defects in Stapleton.
Properties in the Stapleton area face unique environmental challenges that builders often overlook during the excavation and infrastructure phases.
Groundwater Leaching.
Many Stapleton homes have suffered from high water tables and "calcite" buildup in perimeter drains. This chemical reaction from recycled concrete road bases can clog drainage systems, leading to catastrophic basement flooding.
Expansive Bentonite Clay.
Like much of the Front Range, Stapleton sits on volatile clay soil. If structural piers are too shallow or void spaces are missing, the resulting "soil heaving" can crack foundations and buckle interior slabs.
Roofing & Terrace Failures.
In high-density townhomes, we frequently see failures in flat roof membranes and "trough" drains that were never properly integrated with the building's drainage plane.

-

Frequently Asked Questions.
-
Under the Colorado Construction Defect Action Reform Act (CDARA), associations typically have two years from the discovery of a defect to file a claim. However, the Statute of Repose provides an absolute deadline, generally six years from substantial completion, making it vital to investigate signs of damage in newer Central Park filings immediately.
-
Yes. HOA board members have a fiduciary duty to maintain and protect the community’s common elements. Failing to address systemic issues like groundwater intrusion or roof failures can lead to personal liability for the board and devastating special assessments for the homeowners.
-
We offer our initial forensic investigation at no upfront cost to the association. Because we typically work on a contingency fee basis, we invest our own resources into the research and engineering analysis, and we only receive payment if we successfully recover funds for your community.
-
Actually, the presence of unaddressed defects and the threat of future special assessments are what devalue a home. Successfully litigating a claim provides the necessary capital to perform permanent repairs, which restores the safety, integrity, and long-term marketability of the property.
-
Even if a specific developer entity has dissolved, they were required to carry commercial general liability insurance at the time of construction. Our Phase 2 document research is designed to track down these policies and the responsible parties to ensure there is a source of recovery for your repairs.
-
Our forensic team uses non-destructive testing, such as thermal imaging and moisture probes, to differentiate between normal wear-and-tear and underlying structural failures. We provide the technical data necessary to prove that the builder’s "as-built" work deviated from the original engineering plans.
