BINGO whats it say in the sellars agreement??? that its been replaced all the way back sewer?? or was that word of mouth

if its in the sellars statement money

home owner i request its a flow test where you die the water and wheer it flows to the sewer…

just the same a spetic test like the one houese died the water next thing i know the creek is green (you let that go and bunch of three hugging hippies come along and bam hello you are replacing a new septic) but same goes you dump a bunch down and not a bunch comes down and out the drain you have some cracks and holes in your pipes…

best thing i would do is get camera wire down there and follow the pipe and you can pin point all the exact locations of the breaks…

if all the breaks are outside the house your golden pony boy…but if you have cracks inside the house…get out the jack hammer…If you know for sure they replaced the drains in the house then they would be pvc easy to tell will be cuts and new cement added

you will be susprised how far roots can grow
