For example some electrical stopped working in the house after I had paid thencontractors electrician at the time of construction to make sure all electricals were up to date to prevent such things from happening, we fixed that.. after that we noticed some leaking in a part of the home which we finally located the problem that the the contractor nailed trim with a nail gun and made a hole in a heating pipe which dripped slowly so no one knew anything until the damages were big, we fixed that.
