Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Colorado
Real Estate
We purchased a home 48 hours ago
and the main sewer line backed up
because it was filled with
construction debris. Is the seller
legally responsible for paying for the
repairs which include jack
hammering the floor and removing
the pipe to clear the debris and
redoing the pipes?

That is impossible to say just based on your question. If there is evidence that this has happened before, then it is certainly an argument that this should have been disclosed. They could also have been required to disclose if this affected other homes in the development and they seller knew about the issue.
Ultimately, it all depends and it would take further review of the contract and circumstances to determine issues. Good luck.
