Towne Development ripoff sold a new home to me that needs many many repairs and fixes Virginia Beach Virginia
I purchased a new home that is defective. The crawlspace flooded as a result of drainage of swamp area on lot next to me. Towne Development Corp. drained onto my and my neighbors land after raising level of culvert and cutting berm holding water on swampland field. This was done along with 30+ inches of sand fill to get enough area to build another home.
Unfortunately a septic drain field is to go in there also. This already floods over my well in 8 + hours of rain. Because sand will saturate and water runs through it does not work except to flood us who already bought homes and properties from Towne Development Corp. at Steeplechase. Also no repairs or replacement of broken and damaged cabinets, countertops, under crawlspace duct work. Floor joist to low to ground dirt.
Can't get under carrier beam to service water lines, plumbing or duct work. Too close to ground. Have black mold under home. There has never been any contact from responsible party from this company. The super whom promises everything to everybody but no forthcoming.

I recommend calling your county/city's Department of Public works to see if the builder has been released from bond
#3Consumer Suggestion
Wed, January 28, 2004
Is the builder off bond with the County (or city)in which the house was built? If not, and you haven't done so already, I recommend calling your county/city's Department of Public works to see if the builder has been released from bond. If not, the County/City won't release them from bond until they have brought the building up to code.If the builder is off bond, the county may still be able to help you with your flooding issue.That being said, all of this hinges on how long it has been since you bought the house and if your public works department does this sort of thing. I did a search on Google to see if your city has this type of department. Here is a link to the page I think may help you--look under "Planning and Inspections" for contact information. http://www.co.currituck.nc.us/citizensguide.html#Departments Since the company is based out of VA Beach, you may want to contact their consumer protection department. I dont know if they are able to assist in your particular case, but here is a link to the agency's site for more info. http://www.vbgov.com/dept/oca/ca.asp If the home you bought is also located in VA beach, check that city's website (www.vbgov.com) to get contact info. for it's public works department. I only make these suggestions as I work for an elected official in Northern Virginia and we have had several complaints of this type in this office. Though my attempt at helping you may prove useless, good luck at any rate.
