Legal advice question

[Danny Stern]

Hi all,

I purchased my first single family house (primary residence) in July of 2018 in a suburb outside Milwaukee. The market was very hot and we did not get a home inspection. In October of 2018 we had the sump pump motor go out and flooded the finished basement. We went and got the same 1/2 hp sump pump and replaced the old one only to have the motor fail yesterday and our basement to flood yet again. On the real estate condition report the owners who have lived there for over 40 years listed no previous knowledge of any water or leaking throughout the home. I feel like flooding twice in under a year or homeownership they are not telling the truth. They also had a squeegee that was in the garage. I’m wondering if you guys think this is worth getting a real estate lawyer involved in or if I have a leg to stand on.
