Re: real estate
I'd need more information to give you proper legal advice, but one place to start would be the Residential Real Property Disclosure form that is part of every IL real estate contract. Basement flooding must be disclosed on it. If the basement flooding was not disclosed, it allows for some good remedies including having your attorneys fees paid.

You need to see an attorney in person for a review of the purchase agreement and the Residential Disclosure Form required in every purchase/sale of a residence. There may be a misreperentation or warranty that applies.
