The home has recently flooded, and the professionals that have been assisting them seem to believe that the prior owner’s remodel was not performed in compliance with applicable building codes and that the flooding was a result of those deficiencies. Please let me know if anyone subscribing to this list would be interested in helping them, and I’ll pass your contact information on to them if so.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Regards,<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#0D0D0D'>James B.
