Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Illinois

We just found out there is a stormwater culvert running under our house. We did not know about it when we purchased the property and want it moved. We found out sink holes have been forming in this neighborhood for years...way before our purchase...and have found them in our yard, where the culvert is located. Who is responsible. Basically, at this point, we feel our home has lost it's value.
