Options for home purchased with substantial water damage on 2nd floor

William C.
Posted

Purchased a home in August of 2022. It has come to light that the home has substantial water damage on the 2nd floor due to faulty shower tile and shower pan. Estimates say the repairs will go beyond $10,000. It was the opinion of the remediation companies that the leak has been present for much longer than the 7 months we have owned the home for. The water damage was not present in the seller's disclosures. The home inspector made no mention of potential water damage. Has anyone experienced anything similar to our situation? Most interested to learn if we have any recourse (legal or otherwise) to go after the seller for damages. Simply theorizing at this point, so any thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you.
