A: Your question is something that a real estate attorney would know best, but you await an answer for five weeks. If you are able to consult with a real estate attorney in the state where this happened, they would want to see the contract. They could have questions for you - Did the seller make any representations as to the house and its plumbing systems? Did the seller take steps to conceal anything in connection with the system? Were you given any warranties? Who conducted the inspection you mention? Consult with a real estate attorney who handles such transactions on a regular basis and they would be able to offer more meaningful insight. Good luck
