We who live here in So Cal should feel ever so lucky...especially if we own a home...being a realtor I see the prices keep increasing...which is nice when you own a home...but anyways, back to the point. I agree with B-line in that "normally," you may not win the case since this rainy season was really unusual. However, regardless of how unusual it is, if the contractor did not perform the moisture test, he/she automatically defaults because they didn't do what was needed. It's like me as a realtor; if I don't actually go in and physically inspect a house that I am listing and something goes wrong, I will be one of the first to get sued; and I will automatically lose the case on grounds that I didn't do what is required. So...if the cost is too big, take it to court...but it will take a long time too...it's really up to you...even though you will most likely win...or maybe you can work something out with the contractor without going to court...like splitting the bill half-half and have him install it for free...
