New House, Broken Sewer Line, Legal Problem, What to do ?

[Tom La Rosa]

To make a long story short . . . .

I bought a house 2 months ago, I just had the sewer line video scoped. There is a break in it, with tree roots inside.

It has become apparent the previous owner knew about it and did not disclose it and is now lying about it. 

Without getting into the drama, I can prove they knew about it.

My Real Estate Agent contacted theirs and the previous owner may not co-operate.

Is this a small claims court issue, a real estate lawyer issue ? What would be my next step ?
