HASCO and CAROL HASCO, husband and wife, Plaintiffs, : IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF : CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYL VANIA v. : No. 2004 - 3752, CIVIL TERM B-DRY SYSTEMS OF BLUE RIDGE, LLC, : CIVIL ACTION - LAW Defendant. : JURY TRIAL DEMANDED COMPLAINT AND NOW, this IO~ay of November, 2004, come the Plaintiffs, ANDREW W. RASCO and CAROL HASCO, husband and wife, by and through their attorneys, Irwin & McKnight, and make the following Complaint against the Defendant, B-DRY SYSTEMS OF BLUE RIDGE, LLC, averring as follows: 1. Plaintiffs are Andrew W. Hasco and Carol Hasco, husband and wife, adult individuals principally residing at 1827 West Lisburn Road, Carlisle, Pennsylvania 17013. 2. Defendant is B-Dry Systems of Blue Ridge, LLC, a Maryland business with its principal place of business at 10210 Governor Lane Boulevard, Suite 2008B, Williamsport, Maryland 21795. 3. At times relevant hereto, Defendant B-Dry held itself out to be in the business of retail sale and installation of waterproofing systems for basements. 4. On or about July 7, 2003, Plaintiffs received an initial proposal from a representative of Defendant B-Dry for the purchase and installation of a waterproofing system in the basement of their principal residence. A true and correct copy of the proposal from Defendant is attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit "A." 5. As noted on Exhibit "A," the condition of the Plaintiffs' basement at that time included water in the walls, over the footers, and through floor cracks. 6. Plaintiffs elected not to have full sheets of rigid sealer installed, as well as certain other modifications agreed to by the parties, and so on or about September 11, 2003, Plaintiffs paid Defendants the sum of Ten Thousand Seven Hundred Seventy-One and no/1 00 ($10,771.00) Dollars. 7. Defendant, through its authorized agents and employees, installed the waterproofing system at Plaintiffs' principal residence in September 2003. 8. Plaintiffs subsequently received a written warranty that provided in pertinent part that all areas waterproofed with the B-Dry System would be "free from water leakage for THE FULL LIFE OF THE STRUCTURE." A true and correct copy of the warranty from Defendant is attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit "B." 9. Immediately following completion of the work by the agents and employees of Defendant, Plaintiffs noticed that water was still present and continuing to flow into their basement. 10. Plaintiffs contacted Defendant and were assured by its representatives that they would return and make any necessary repairs to provide Plaintiffs with a dry basement. 11. Defendant, by and through its authorized agents and employees, made numerous additional attempts to repair and expand the waterproofing system in Plaintiffs' basement. 2 12. These additional attempts at repair and expansion of the waterproofing system occurred throughout the remaining year in 2003, and into January of 2004. 13. Despite the numerous complaints by Plaintiffs and attempts to repair and expand the waterproofing system by Defendant, Plaintiffs continue to have water presence and leakage in their basement, as well as continued cracking and damage to the basement floor and walls. COUNT I BREACH OF CONTRACT & WARRANTY 14. The averments of fact alleged in paragraphs one (1) through thirteen (13) are made a part hereof and incorporated herein by reference. 15. Despite numerous promises to the contrary, Defendant failed to deliver the dry basement which it had represented and promised to Plaintiffs. 16. Defendant, by and through its authorized agents and employees, continued to attempt to provide a dry basement for the Plaintiffs over several months from September 2003 into January 2004. 17. The waterproofing system of Defendant did not function as promised and was not installed properly in that: A. Plaintiffs continue to have cracking in their basement floor and the flow of water into their basement despite the presence of Defendant's system and its subsequent expansion after the failed attempts of Defendant to correct the continuing deficiencies; 3 B. Joints or junctures in Defendant's piping system are attached with duck tape and some do not connect at all; C. Defendant either failed to use or used an insufficient amount of modified stone or limestone as the stone base for their system; D. Defendant, through its agents or representatives, represented that the rigid sealer would connect to the piping system through a rigid vapor barrier, but no such system was installed, and instead a thin, black plastic bag material was used that did not even connect with the piping system; E. Defendant improperly sloped and sized the trenching system; F. Defendant did not properly drill "weep holes" into the concrete blocks at the base of the basement walls; G. Defendant failed to properly install the sump pumps used in connection with the drainage system and at least one of the pumps needs replaced; and H. Other related defects existed due to Defendants' failure to install the products sold in a reasonable and workmanlike manner. 18. Defendant breached the contract with Plaintiffs by not properly installing the waterproofing system to provide Plaintiffs with a dry basement in accordance with the parties' contract. 19. Defendant breached its warranty by not providing to Plaintiffs a basement free from water leakage, despite several attempts to repair and expand their system. 20. Defendant warranted its system to provide a basement free from water leakage, and expressly and through implication warranted that its system was fit to be used for Plaintiffs' basement water problems. 4 21. Defendant breached the contract and its warranty by not installing the proper system needed to correct the continuing water pressure under Plaintiffs' basement floor, which was observed by Defendant's representative on the initial work proposal. 22. This water pressure continues to cause cracking and water flow in Plaintiffs' basement, even with the expansion of Defendant's system through its attempts at repair. 23. Despite repeated attempts, Defendant has been unable to repair and/or replace the defective workmanship and installation of the waterproofing system. 24. Despite repeated demands, Defendants have refused and continue to refuse to refund Plaintiffs the deposit money paid by them as part of the contract. 25. Plaintiffs have also been unable to use the majority of their basement due to the continued presence of water, and have therefore incurred costs and expenses in the rental of a storage unit for their personal property. 26. As a result of Defendant's breach and refusal to replace the defective workmanship with a functioning system, Plaintiffs will be forced to hire another contractor to replace the defective and improper system installed by Defendant. 27. As a result of Defendant's breach of contract and breach of warranty and in order to replace Defendant's waterproofing system, Plaintiffs will incur replacement and cover costs in excess of the sums paid to Defendant. 5 WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs respectfully request that this Court award damages against the Defendants in an amount less than the arbitration amount of Twenty-Five Thousand and no/lOO ($25,000.00) Dollars, together with attorney fees, costs and interest as permitted by law and such other and further relief as this Court shall deem fair, just, and proper. COUNT II UNJUST ENRICHMENT 28. The averments of fact alleged in items one (1) through twenty-seven (27) are made a part hereof and incorporated herein by reference. 29. Plaintiffs have conferred benefits on Defendant by payment of their check. 30. Defendant has received and acknowledged receipt of payment by Plaintiffs. 31. Defendant has not performed satisfactory services to justify the value of the benefit which they received from Plaintiffs. 32. It is and continues to be inequitable for Defendant to retain the payment by Plaintiffs without satisfactorily installing a waterproofing system that functions properly and prevents further water infiltration and damage to Plaintiffs' home. WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs respectfully request that this Court award damages against the Defendants in an amount less than the arbitration amount of Twenty-Five Thousand and nolI 00 ($25,000.00) Dollars, together with attorney fees, costs and interest as permitted by law and such other and further relief as this Court shall deem fair, just, and proper. 6 COUNT III VIOLATION OF THE PENNSYLVANIA UNFAIR TRADE PRACTICES AND CONSUMER PROTECTION LAW 33. The averments of fact alleged in items one (1) through thirty-two (32) are made a part hereof and incorporated herein by reference. 34. In agreeing to the contract with Defendant, Plaintiffs relied upon the assurances by Defendant's agents and employees that their basement would be dry and free from water leakage. 35. Plaintiffs further relied upon representations by Defendant's agents and employees that the waterproofing system sold to Plaintiffs has been used for many years, and that the Defendant's work was of exceptional quality. 36. Defendant's agents and employees further assured Plaintiffs that the work would be done to their satisfaction and that the products were under express and implied warranty from the company. 37. Plaintiffs relied upon the promises, assertions and representations of Defendant's agents and employees as inducement to agree to allow Defendant to perform the installation work. 38. The misrepresentations by Defendant's agents and employees are in direct violation of ~~ 201-2(4)(v), 201-2(4)(vii), 201-2(4)(ix), 201-2(4)(xiv), 201-2(4)(xv) and 201- 2(4 )(xxi) of the Pennsylvania Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law. 7 39. Under ~ 201-9.2(a) of the Pennsylvania Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law, "[t]he court may, in its discretion, award up to three times the actual damages sustained [...]." 40. Furthermore, the court "may provide such additional relief as it deems just and proper." ~ 201-9.2(a). 41. Also under ~ 201-9.2(a), "[t]he court may award to the plaintiff, in addition to other relief provided in this section, costs and reasonable attorney fees." WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs respectfully request that this Court award damages against the Defendants in an amount less than the arbitration amount of Twenty-Five Thousand and no/lOO ($25,000.00) Dollars, together with treble damages and attorneys fees against the Defendant, and such other and further relief as this Court shall deem fair, just, and proper. COUNT IV VIOLATION OF THE FEDERAL MAGNUSON-MOSS WARRANTY ACT 42. The averments of fact alleged in items one (1) through forty (40) are made a part hereof and incorporated herein by reference. 43. Plaintiffs are "Consumers" as defined by 15 U.S.c.A. ~ 2301(3). 44. Defendant is a "Warrantor" as defined by 15 U.S.c.A. ~ 2301(5). 8 45. The purpose for which the Defendant's products and services were sold was for personal, family and household use. 46. By the terms of the express written warranty attached hereto as Exhibit "B", Defendant agreed to perform effective warranty repairs at no additional cost to the customer. 47. Defendant has made attempts on several occasions to comply with the terms of its warranties, but such repair attempts have been ineffective and have not resulted in a basement free from water leakage for Plaintiffs. 48. As a direct and proximate result of Defendant's failure to comply with the express written warranties, Plaintiffs have suffered damages and in accordance with 15 U.S.c.A. ~ 231O( d)(l), Plaintiffs are entitled to bring suit for such damages and other legal and equitable relief. 49. Under 15 U.S.c.A. ~ 231O(d)(1), a prevailing consumer "may be allowed by the court to recover as part of the judgment a sum equal to the aggregate amount of cost and expenses (including attorneys' fees based on actual time expended) determined by the court to have been reasonably incurred by the plaintiff for or in connection with the commencement and prosecution of such action, unless the court in its discretion shall determine that such an award of attorneys' fees would be inappropriate." 50. Plaintiffs aver that upon successfully prevailing upon the Magnuson-Moss claim herein, all attorney fees are recoverable and are therefore demanded against Defendant. WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs respectfully request that this Court award damages against the Defendants in an amount less than the arbitration amount of Twenty-Five Thousand and no/lOO 9 ($25,000.00) Dollars, together with attorneys fees against the Defendant, and such other and further relief as this Court shall deem fair, just, and proper.

Defendant's responses in paragraphs 1 through 50 are made a part hereof and incorporated herein by reference. 52. The initial work on Plaintiffs' basement was completed by B-Dry on September 11,2003. 53. A hurricane came through the area on September 18,2003. 54. Plaintiffs called and spoke with Michael McKelvin, President ofB-Dry, on September 23,2003. 55. Michael McKelvin went to the Plaintiffs' residence on September 24, 2003 and performed additional work on the basement. 56. On October 8, 2003, Mr. McKelvin called the Plaintiffs and asked to inspect their basement following the work that had been pe:rformed. Plaintiffs welcomed the visit. Minor seepage was discovered in an expansion cut through the center of the floor by the home's builder. 8 57. As a result of the visit on October 8, Mr. McKelvin recommended the insta~lation of an additional 42 feet of lateral pipe, which was installed at no additional charge to the Plaintiffs by Mr. McKelvin and his father, an employee ofB-Dry, on October 16,2003. 58. Plaintiffs called Mr. McKelvin on December 11, 2003 complaining about the sump pump, which Mr. McKelvin replaced for the Plaintiffs on the same day at no additional charge to Plaintiffs. 59. On December 17,2003, Plaintiffs called Mr. McKelvin regarding water seeping through the cracks in the basement. 60. On December 29,2003, employees ofB-Dry inspected the basement and made recommendations to have the basement be free from water leakage. Those recommendations are attached hereto as Exhibit B. 61. On or about January 5, 2003, Mr. McKelvin sought and obtained advice from B-Dry's corporate headquarters in Akron, Ohio regarding what steps to take in his efforts to have the Plaintiffs' basement free from water leakage. 62. On January 15,2004, Mr. McKelvin arrived at the Plaintiffs' residence to perform the recommended actions, at no additional charge to Plaintiffs, and Plaintiffs would not let him perform the work and requested Mr. McKelvin to leave, which he did. 63. B-Dry performed additional work on the basement on two separate occasions and replaced the sump pump on another occasion at no additional charge to Plaintiffs. . 64. B-Dry's additional work performed on the basement is what is required by the warranty provided to Plaintiffs. 9 65. B-Dry's additional work performed on the basement is what is required by the contract executed by Plaintiffs. 66. B-Dry was at all times ready, willing, and able to perform additional work required to comply with the warranty. 67. Plaintiffs' neighbor began building up their property at approximately the same time the work on the premises was being performed by B-Dry. 68. The act of building up the property by Plaintiffs' neighbor increased the flow of water to the Plaintiffs' property. . 69. The increase of water from the Plaintiffs' neighbors' property may have caused additional water seepage into Plaintiffs' basement. 70. Another of Plaintiffs' neighbors has a pond on their property. 71. The existence of the neighbors' pond may increase the flow of water to the Plaintiffs' property. 72. The increase of water from the Plaintiffs' neighbors' pond may have caused additional water seepage into Plaintiffs' basement. 73. Plaintiffs' property is set in such a way that the home sits on the lowest level ofthe lot and there are hills directly behind Plaintiffs' home. 74. The circumstances of the pond, the building up of the contiguous property, and the location of Plaintiffs' home at the lowest level of the lot, have created a difficult situation with water seepage which is more problematic than most other basement waterproofing issues. 10 75. In light of the problems surrounding this property, B-Dry's continued attempts at no additional charge to make the basement free from water leakage are reasonable. 76. In light of the problems surrounding this property, the number of attempts made by B-Dry to comply with the warranty is reasonable. . 77. B-Dry's responses to the Plaintiffs' issues were all performed within a reasonable time from the date B-Dry became aware of any issues. 78. In light of the problems surrounding this property, the number of times B-Dry performed additional work to comply with the warranty was reasonable. 79. B-Dry's attempt to repair the system on January 15,2004 was reasonable. 80. In light of the problems surrounding this property, B-Dry's continued attempts at no additional charge to make the basement free from water leakage are consistent with the warranty. 81. B-Dry's continued attempts at no additional eharge to make the basement free from water leakage are consistent with the contract. . 82. Plaintiffs' prohibited B-Dry from completing additional work on the basement on January 15,2004. 83. Plaintiffs' allowance ofB-Dry to enter the premises to perform additional work on the premises is an implied condition to B-Dry's performance of its obligations under the warranty. 84. Plaintiffs' allowance ofB-Dry to enter the pn~mises to perform additional work on the premises is an implied condition to B-Dry's performance of its obligations under the contract. 11 85. Plaintiffs' failure to allow B-Dry to perform the work required constitutes an anticipatory repudiation of the warranty, which is a defense to performance under the warranty. 86. Plaintiffs' failure to allow B-Dry to perform the work required constitutes an anticipatory repudiation of the contract, which is a defense to performance under the contract. 87. Plaintiffs' failure to allow B-Dry to perform the work required made it impossible for B-Dry to perform its obligations under the contract and warranty, and impossibility is an affirmative defense to Plaintiffs' allegations of breach of contract and warranty. WHEREFORE, Defendant prays this Honorable Court to find judgment in favor of Defendant, dismiss the actions against the Defendant, and order other relief, such as payments of attorney's fees and costs by Plaintiffs to Defendant, and this Court deems appropriate.
