Septic system failure weeks after closing

[Dave S.]

Reaching out to understand what my options are, here is the situation:

Purchased property

2 weeks after closing major failure of the septic system occurred

Sellers disclosure mentioned nothing about any effluent or any issue related to system or the sand mound, after this happened, I asked around and found out that this was an ongoing issue and the owner covered It up.

Even though the property was sold as is, is there any legal action that can be taken???? This isn’t a cheap repair, north of $25k! And as some may know, insurance does not cover this at all?

Thoughts?
