Not sure I understand. Couldn't any offer be withdrawn before the payment is made? I'm assuming I couldn't bring it up legally, if I had to go to court for any future problems?

The gap actually wasn't a big deal according to two separate, neutral third party, foundation companies we had assess (+ a general contractor friend). The gap essentially made the water problem appear less serious than it was, so in the end I am glad it was filled. But with the whole without prejudice stipulation in there, should I be pushing for full payment, since I have lots of evidence it was caused by improper backfill and was there since day one? Or should I flat-out insist that the without prejudice be removed?
