  There was a firecracker lit off in our basement of the house we are having built. Luckily it didn't burn down. But the had to replace the pit in the basement and the whole house smells like smoke (no drywall up yet, only wood). So they want us to sign a disclosure about the incident. I am concerned about resale and how if we sign this it will affect us.
 
  There are companies that specialize in smoke problems.  As for the document -- don't sign anything without consulting your own real estate lawyer.
