Septic and Sewer Issues

[Megan Ghothane]

I have a property in Baltimore County, MD that, when purchased, the family did not fully disclose the septic system situation. They provided us with an estimate for septic system repairs done by a reputable company; however, when we had our usual company come out to do the repairs they found that the soil was not suitable and they would have to reach out to the county to run (perc) tests and to give the "okay" to continue work. When the septic company reached out to the county the county immediately contacted me to tell me that this property is in a sort of "hold" and cannot be renovated or repaired in any way! I have spoken to MANY people within the county, sent emails and made online requests to try and solve this issue. 

Where I'm at right now: I have spoken directly to the Director of Public Works and he says that he must speak with someone in the Groundwater Management Department (whom I have also spoken with directly) to see what type of system can be done and give me a timeline. I have also spoken with another person (someone who reached out to me from the online request) that says I need to be given quotes for my various options so I can choose the best one. And lastly, I have acquired mediated papers from my realtor to file against the seller of this property for not providing full disclosure (I was told by the county that this family knew EXACTLY the limitations on the property). Lastly, we have possible public sewer hook-ups directly in front of and behind the property. 

Are there any experts out there who can help guide me as to what I can do to be able to get our property fixed? Or anyone who has experienced anything like this?
