home.
57. Plaintiffs have failed to reasonably maintain their
property, thereby preventing and thwarting the effectiveness of
devices installed by the Defendants Fearnbaugh designed and
utilized to remove water away from the home and foundation of the
home.
58. If in fact water infiltrated the basement or caused any
of the alleged defects or damages set forth in Plaintiffs'
Complaint, which infiltration, defects and damages have been

their property were the sole, substantial or contributing causes
of the alleged defects and damages claimed by Plaintiff.

59. If in fact water infiltrated the basement or caused any
-12-
of the alleged defects or damages set forth in Plaintiffs'
complaint, which infiltration, defects and damages have been
denied by Defendants Fearnbaugh, then same were caused by

corresponding increase in the water table of the land upon which

control of Defendants Fearnbaugh.
60. At no time did Plaintiffs advise Defendants Fearnbaugh

55. If in fact water infiltrated the basement or caused any
of the alleged defects or damages set forth in Plaintiffs'
Complaint, which infiltration, defects and damages have been

56. If in fact water infiltrated the basement or caused any
of the alleged defects or damages set forth in Plaintiffs'
Complaint, which infiltration, defects and damages have been
denied by Defendants Fearnbaugh, then same were caused by
