Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

Plumbing damage caused by an offical city tree.

I am renovating a older commercial building with poor plumbing. After spending over $10,000.00 trying to repair serious plumbing and drainage we have discovered the reason for all the crushed pipes and sewer line damage is caused by a city owned tree adjacent to our property. We have city tree roots in our drain and sewer plumbing pipes.

What arguments for remediation and reembursment can I make with the city attorneys office?

Thank you in advance for any assistance!

You should explain in detail in writing what the damage is, your understanding of its source, and why you believe the City is liable. If you need any help, please contact us. We also provide one session of free consultation if you fax to us at (714) 363-0220, the documenation you might have for your claim.
