Just weeks after the bad ice storm melts in Halifax now city buildings and homes are frozen still and wet with hundreds of pounds of ice blocks thawing on apartments amd business.
Plus it’s still raining…
This court issue my lawyer has on hold for a lengthy court review which costs me nothing because I had to sue to get rid of bad building management in mine.
Now contractors and fire officials are tied up for weeks in personal court defense for fraud at construction sites.
At Home Depo my “Homes And Gardens” style renovations were only $700 in pre suppilies with ten thousand man hours, me doing it manual, with water pump flood damage removal.
Apparently,…. other contracts are not covered, patched on top and didn’t use a water pump or heat dry devices.
Now window dirt from trees and storms and froze all vinyl siding in the area, with the hundreds of pounds of ice blocks now frozen in wood and insulation.
That is just starting to thaw, cheap parts MASSIVE hourly wage bill.
A water pump is cheap, the ten thousand hours to dry is where the money went.
Now cheap contractors are trying to hide bad repairs after taking payment and their work fell down from ice melting.
So, my actual roof is not leaking but in my city building the frozen ice in the windows is now black with dirt in the roof and melting into new painted rooms.
Expect this issue in your home in this area.
That all resolved now its bad condensation.
So that dries pretty fast in apartment celings but it’s there every day preventing residents from finishing dry wall repair.
Around electrical, light fixtures etc., which required a 24 hour technician to dry the condensation and preserve new paint and dry wall while the rest of the ice thaws.
When I checked for the lawyers the celing had dirt caked on electrical wires for lights and smoke dectectors under bad repairs and coated with frozen jip rock pieces and insulation paper which was full of mud and leaves and holding water.
Local bad contracting repairs had to be removed to dry and clean the electrcial wires which were holding condensation on the celing from the frozen jip rock etc on them.
The actual roof and insulation were not damaged but had to be dried which only took one day, then all wet materials removed and resealed with new plastic.
A $125 job at Home Depo.
With ten thousand labour hours with a 24 technition to monitor consendation build up which has to be dried and pumped out.
The condensation in the celing not a big deal but it won’t leave because if ice thawing.
Howver, this required a 24 hour a day maintainence technition to keep out the consensation.
The water pump for the building roof finally did show up with a crane but LEFT and let the water and condensation build up during this Easter Long Weekend and didn’t come back allowing more water to fill the building and no technition.
All brand new damage, not covered by the contractors insurance.
Now Legal Aid has filed against them in Civil Court and the damage is not covered by their insurance at the contractor which ababdoned the building in the flood to go home and spend Easter with his family at his house leaving other buildings to continue to freeze and accumulate water damage.
While they went home for Easter leaving the damaged buildings wet.
