For sale: New home; water pressure not included

Q: We purchased a newly constructed home and the builder failed to advise us of a water pressure problem. After six months of fighting with the local water company, the water company installed a booster pump in our home at no charge to us. We have had no ability to water our lawn, and the builder refuses to reseed. We have had no use of any outside water whatsoever. Do we have any recourse?

A: If you had had a professional home inspection done prior to purchasing your new home, that may have picked up the problem.
