Client is a retired, disabled veteran and he needs assistance with a real estate problem. He purchased a residential home in June 2020 and recently discovered that the property contained an undisclosed problem with the sewer line. The seller checked “no” for sewer issues in the relevant disclosure contained in the purchase contract. However, client states that the plumbers he engaged to scope the sewer line informed him that the pipe problem was discovered by them on a previous visit to the property, and communicated to the previous owner. Part of the sewer line must be replaced at an estimated cost of almost $20K.
