You may have a case against the seller of the house. The defects you describe are the type an inspector might miss but the seller would likely know of from living in the house. Unless the seller was exempt, the seller had to fill out a Seller's Disclosure Statement. Review of that Statement may reveal a misrepresentation.

I'm not commenting on the inspectors without knowing more.

If you'd like to investigate your potential claim, you can contact me to do so. As always, this answer is not legal advice but is rather given for information only.
