Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Georgia
Recourse for bad plumbing in recently purchased home
Hello. I purchased my first home in
late April. Since moving in we have
had many plumbing issues,
culminating in having to have the
main sewer line and the water main
from the house to the street
replaced. The plumber who did this
work said this issue should have
been disclosed by the sellers. We
had the home inspected, but this
did not include running a camera
into the sewer line. The line was full
of roots. No one had lived in the
home for 3 years, but the plumber
believes there is no way that,
during the renovation, the sellers
were not aware of the plumbing
issue. Just wanted to know
whether we might be able to get
reimbursed for these costs. Thank
you!

It may be possible to get reimbursement. However, more facts need to be investigated. Consult with a local attorney.
