Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Pennsylvania

At the settlement of the home sale of my mother's home, escrowed funds were held till final clean up, which took place 2 days later and approved by the buyer. Ten days later after settlement the buyer complains that there were burst pipes in the house which we didn't tell him about. We had NO knowledge of ANY burst pipes and had used the house water during clean up. We have not yet received our escrow payment and the buyer wants to keep the money to fix the plumbing. Am I legally obligated to pay him for problems he says we negligently and deceitfully did not tell him about but in reality, we never saw any signs of burst pipes? Is the buyer allowed to not release the funds that were kept for the sole purpose of insuring final clean up was accomplished?
