Recent National news accounts of health issues have given attention  to the effects of toxic mold that are invading homes, offices and schools across the nation.  Faulty construction, faulty air conditioning, plumbing leaks, careless building practices and defective building material are identified as major contributing factors to the growth of mold.  Construction defects are the major cause of these toxic molds, leaving the families facing a crisis without protection or immediate assistance.

HomeOwners For Better Building "HOBB" is calling on the Federal and State Government  to address the need  for a better regulated Homebuilding Industry.  HomeOwners For Better Building will introduce the Home Lemon Law to S.C. Lawmakers and is asking for their support. 

A Home Lemon Law will have many advantages such as:
 

* Protection for the Homebuyerís  investment.

* Establish a much needed complaint process for Homeowners.

* Establish a buyback program, if the builder cannot or refuses to correct a construction defects.

* Decrease litigation risks and high costs for both the builder and the homeowner.

* Improve the quality of new home construction.
