A recent move by a family from Kaunas to Kretingo district has turned sour as they discovered serious construction defects in their newly built 150 square meter home, completed in 2024. The issues surfaced even before the construction was fully finished, including a poorly installed roof that traps water and allows moisture to seep into the structure, raising valid concerns about the building's durability and safety for the family with young children.

The homeowner, who requested not to be named, detailed further problems with the construction, including inconsistencies in the underfloor heating system and plumbing issues that create practical difficulties on a daily basis. He mentioned that there have been other electrical installation concerns and described the frustrating experience of continuously facing new problems despite having only lived in the house for a year.

With the cost of rectifying the construction flaws amounting to 21,000 euros, the implications of such defects not only impact the homeowner financially but also raise questions about construction standards and consumer protections in Lithuania. This case highlights the potential risks faced by new homeowners when construction jobs are not carried out to proper standards, emphasizing the need for stricter regulations and accountability in the construction industry.
