Even though I'm just thinking about buying a vacation property in this area, reading this thread compelled me to join the forum.
Bottom line: YOU DON"T BUILD A HOUSE WITHOUT A VAPOR BARRIER.
It doesn't matter where you live.....tropical storms or hurricanes as mentioned by gaiboi aren't the cause....gaiboi, if you had gone with your father on a few jobs during his 18 years of contracting you might be aware of this fact.....if vapour barrier isn't present you will have moisture!!!
The comments about the general contractor blaming a sub are also completely invalid. I've had multiple homes built....the role of the general is to make sure the subs do their job correctly!
Yippee, I'm sorry for the issues you're having. I know a family in my area going through the same thing......sick family members etc....
