Post: Illegal sewer tap and property damage

There was no right of way, the trespass is uncontested by both the city and the builder. The construction on my property was property was put on hold due to covid, and it was during that time that the pipe ruptured (which runs under my house). I am looking for a attorney referral in the Raleigh Durham area.

We are hoping to find a real estate attorney that can handle a case involving a trespass in which an  illegal sanitary sewer cleanout and corrugated downspout drains were placed on my property.  The line they tapped into had been abandoned by the city the year before (and was not the approved location). Some how the city dropped the ball and issued a CO to this new construction build. This allowed folks to move in and led to this line rupturing.spilling sewage onto my property for months. The corresponding property damage involves the complete loss of the existing structure w/o the possibility of rebuilding.

We are looking to get into mediation/litigation asap...and are hoping to find a law group that works on contingency in the Raleigh Durham area.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give

I have 3 properties and I am looking to get a loan for about 30k. I currently have a rental with about 15k in equity (this has an equity line already), I have my current residence with about 30k in equity (only a standard mortgage on this, and I'm looking to move out of this one update it some and either sell or rent it), and I also have a house I just renovated that i own free and clear valued at about 295k. This property is on the market but it's been slow moving so i think I'm going to move into it and wait to sell. My credit isn't perfect and what I can show for income isn't great.  Any suggestions on how to get a 30k loan?
