    Default Water Leak

    My question involves a consumer law issue in the State of: Iowa
    I need some advice as to where to turn for an issue I’m having with a water leak. I have a 4 year old two story house that is possibly leaking from the window or from the window area not sure exactly where the leak is coming from. I have had the builder come out to look at this but he has basically washed his hands of it saying it’s the window that is defective and it’s not his problem. I have had numerous people from the window company come out to look at it and they say the window is in fact not the problem but could be the window or the flashing around the window was installed incorrectly. I have also had a home inspecotor come out and he has also said it is the way the siding/flashing/window was installed. What can I do get this resolved or can I do anything? Who is responsible for fixing this? I need some help. I have a giant hole in my living room ceiling where the water is coming in and gets worse everytime it rains.

    If the cost of repair is within the jurisdiction of small claims court, one option would be to sue anybody who is potentially legally responsible in small claims court and let them argue amongst themselves to the judge who is at fault for the problem. Ask for a small claims brochure at your local courthouse or see if you can find one for your state online.
