My house of 2 1/2 years old has been determined by soil tests not to

was designed for. 4 of 5 test sites next to my foundation failed by an

So I have a dilemma-sue the builder, maybe get some money out of it
and still have a defective house or sell it like it is.

Have there been foundation failures in your immediate area?
Are there any indications that there is settlement?
What prompted you to have the soils analyzed 2 1/2 years later?
What did the test results indicate is the bearing capacity of your
soil?

Yes having foundation issues, cracking.
