Rock Hill Homeowners Unite Over Construction Issues in Riverwalk Community
In the charming city of Rock Hill, South Carolina, a group of frustrated homeowners is raising their voices over troubling construction defects that have been plaguing the Riverwalk community for several years. Residents say they are tired of the ongoing problems and feel that their complaints have largely fallen on deaf ears, both with the builder and the city officials.
Leaky Roofs and Water Damage: Not an Isolated Incident
Homeowner Vera Hammond captured attention with her alarming videos showing her home flooding during heavy rainstorms. Many would cringe at the sight of water pouring into their living space, but for Hammond, this has become all too common due to what she believes is poor craftsmanship. For her, the term “lemon” perfectly describes her home—a place that was supposed to be a sanctuary but has turned into a source of stress.
Hammond isn’t alone in her frustrations. Resident Judy Lamothe has also experienced a series of woes related to her house. She sadly notes that her roof has started leaking, and her interior walls are showing damage that no homeowner wants to deal with. In a move of desperation, her husband even had to dig a new drainage line because the original one was improperly located, running far too close to their home.
