@Oren K. Thanks for your help Oren. I appreciate it. It’s funny because when we did all the due diligence, we did a whole lot more than just did and inspection. We also paid a plumber to look through the pipes (they informed me that all they were looking for was standing water, and that cracks wouldn’t show up with a camera). We paid an engineer to look at everything because the house was relatively old, and we did the inspection. I guess I will chalk all of this up to a learning experience, and now I know that wIth old places we should have paid the plumbers to do a smoke test during the due diligence period.

We just bought our first house, about 4 months ago. We bought so that it would work out as a rental when we move in a couple years. It turns out that we bought the house after it had had a serious re- model and been completely replumbed, and all of it appears to have been done incorrectly. Joints are not glued together correctly, etc. do we have any recourse? How should we proceed. The plumbers who came out to figure out why there was a sewer smell in the house said that there was no way it was done by a licensed plumber. Thanks for any advice ahead of time!
