Sellers did not disclose this, can i sue for cost of repair?
Location: Indiana
We have a brick foundation, and today it started storming for the first time since buying our house and moving in a week ago. I went into the basement because i heard what sounded like a waterfall and lo and behold one of the walls has water seeping/ pouring out of it in between the bricks and into the basement. I followed the flow of the water and found what looks to be like a makeshift diy french drain situation in the corner. Clearly they knew about the water since they made the drain and they also have a dehumidifier placed in that area of the basement.
They had some old windows and a door sitting on either side of the drain but not rendering it inaccessible, it was still visible if you simply glanced at the floor in that corner. The day the inspector came it was not raining so I know he wouldn't have a way of knowing about the water coming in, but he definitely could have seen the makeshift drain in the corner and it was not on our inspection report at all.
Is there anything that can be done legally since the seller failed to disclose?
can I ask for a partial or full refund from the inspector?
