They purchased the house in July 2021 from the original buyer, a year after it had been built as part of a 100-home subdivision by Marina Homes.

But after dealing with a host of problems, from leaking windows and roof to extensive water damage and persistent mould, they said they soon discovered an even bigger issue.

The foundation is not strong enough to support the house, an engineering firm hired by the couple determined earlier this year.

"It is recommended that the building be completely demolished," said the report seen by CBC Hamilton.

Me too, but in this industry, they will just get a shell company owned by another shell company that will mysteriously go bankrupt when the first lawsuit hits.

CBC Hamilton spoke to two other homeowners who purchased houses by Marina Homes in the same subdivision. They said they've experienced serious issues with how their homes were constructed, but are reluctant to speak out and worried it will jeopardize their property values.

"Uhhh, no comment. We're hoping we can scam someone else into buying this house like we were scammed into buying it."
