Hi everyone,
I am a new homeowner, bought my house at the end of Jan. Two weeks within living there, our toilet begins to leak water at the seal. My husband and I then went on YouTube and tried to repair this issue ourselves (because wanted to try and fix it ourselves without wasting money) whatever we tried, did not fix the problem. Long story short - we hired a plumber and he says we have a broken pipe under the house, looks like it's 3ft in and he will have to start digging in the bathroom to fix this pipe. Also, since my house was built in the late 50s - it's not the new PVC pipe, its the older kind (cannot think of the name for some odd reason). Looks like it will cost me a fortune to have this repaired.
Now, my question is - is this something we can sue the inspection company on? Or the sellers? Because when this house was originally listed, it specifically said "all new plumbing throughout" so to me, new plumbing throughout means THE WHOLE HOUSE HAS NEW PLUMBING. But that's not the case. So, now we're stuck with this issue and we honestly do not have the money to fix this.
Any one had any issue like mine? Is there a light at the end of the tunnel for us?
