Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Arizona

Previous owner failed to disclose a drainage issue during monsoon season/ About three months after escrow closed, he showed up on our doorstep with a letter explaining about the driveway slope and flooding that could occur in the garage. He told us to dig a ditch in front of the garage so the water would drain. The permanent solution is to put in a drainage pipe. We opted for the permanent solution. Do we have any recourse against the seller?
