按照大家的建议,我们找了个plumber去检查。结果,plumber说:所有的sewer pipe都需要换掉,因为接口的地方都在漏水。(plumber quote里原话:Crawl space sewer lateral: Remove and replace approximately 60’ of main sewer line in crawl space. Found sewer lateral
leaking at joints and not sloped properly. We will bring sewer line up to city code with all high end materials. All materials,
labor, disposal, permit and inspection included in price.)整个花费是13250$。
看到这个quote,包括我的agent和我们都傻眼了。因为inspection report里丝毫没提过漏水的事,seller的disclosure里面也说他们不知道漏水的事。但是,这种大范围的漏水,不可能只是在inspection之后两个月发生的(inspection日期:2022/3/11)。inspection report里面只写了crawl space地面比较潮湿,有standing water 存在过的痕迹。但是根据inspection report里的照片,如果真的存在过这么高水位的standing water的话,seller不可能不知道。

刚和给我们做quote的plumber小哥聊了,他说,这个问题不是短期内形成了,应该在那儿for a while了。如果inspection report里面检查了crawlspace,这个问题应该被发现。

刚把inspection report发给plumber看,他说“Well it looks like They found the sewer line was corroded and Just not clearly leaking. The sewer line is partially in the dirt. I believe we cannot see a leak because it's going directly into the ground.
Second they found the water lines are not done right. Currently the water lines are in danger of electrolysis corrosion and will eventually leak. ”
