What is the name of your state? Illinois
I moved into my 30-year-old house and after one week the sewer backed up into the basement. The previous owners had left a note recommending RidEx down the toilets twice a year, but still say they had no previous problems with the drains. RotoRooter came out, and broke the snake blade when they tried to clean it out. They said it was more than tree roots that were responsible, it could be a crushed pipe. Who is liable for this flood? Is it the Realtor or previous owners for neglecting to inform about possible floods, or is it the inspector for missing the pipe damage? Please advise...
