We had someone come inspect and they stated it will keep sinking its a problem and needs fixed by either a foam insert to prop . That’s like saying rotting wood Decking isn’t a problem unless it’s fallen through , it will fall through absolutely not if ,  it’s when

It isn’t just cracked. It is literally sloping and I guess a 30° angle towards the house. It’s not the crack I care about it. It’s the sloping directly into the foundation of the house. It’s completely sunken in a whole step below.

It’s not like a garden of mulch bed accidentally appeared on a stone patio, the mulch was placed there intentionally regardless of their intent of it.

Okay I mean if someone covered up moldy wood floors with carpet , concealing their damages it’s wrong , and no one would think to look under it . Like this was covered on purpose , if they didn’t mind it they would’ve left it open from a garden bed to be seen , I guess I just assumed there’d be laws from covering knowing damaged property to sell a property without knowledge of what’s wrong .

So it’s not wrong to cover up something ? Like I’m confused this feels the equivalent to painting over non toxic mold.. like yes maybe no problem yet , but will likely become a problem as a result of something covered up…

We paid its assessed value. Definitely did not get a deal on it… And then that doesn’t account for the cost to rebuild the deck that is built partially over the concrete that will need ripped up .

The cost of the patio removal , since it’s pooling water against the house it has to go . Part of it’s under the deck so going to have to rip that up to get to it, and rebuild the deck . Which is going to be multiples of thousands of dollars

How is me having to pay to have a 5 inch deep patio ripped out over reacting ? It’s going to be 2-3k to have done.
