Big issues occurred after home purchase within a few weeks
My wife and I recently purchased a single family home. During the home inspection the inspector noticed that the furnace was constantly leaking(dripping)water. He also notice a wet spot under the oil tank; he said the oil was leaking slowly somewhere but could not see the drip.
These issues were addressed on the purchase and sale. The seller followed through and fix the issues. We called the oil company to make sure they serviced the equipment and they said they did. We did not notice those issues after the purchase. Within 3 days of closing the furnace died on us and stopped working. We also had a 50 gallon oil spill in our basement with in 35days days.
The biggest problem we have right now is cleaning up the spill. The EPA is involved and a oil clean up agency is currently helping. We are looking at a costly clean up as of now.
Are There any help We can get from the state of Massachusetts or the federal government to help clean this up.
