Need help with split level homes

[Account Closed]

We have looked at about 4 split level houses recently and all of them have had mold and moisture issues in the downstairs area. We then started thinking about it and remembered a few split levels from last year that had the same issues, so it's obviously more than coincidence. I have bought a few houses with mold in them and have torn out moldy drywall, etc., so mold doesn't scare me but in these split levels it is starting to. Are these homes in general cheaply built, is it a local builder that screwed them up, drainage issues? Any thoughts would be appreciated. [/b]
