its a house at the end of private drive. the whole street is private and most of the neighbors are nice older people but they dont want to picth in to fix the street or do anything besides cutting few small trees down.

i dont think theres gas anywhere on this street. it would probably cost us arm and a leg to run gas pipe from the main...

from what neighbor told be there used to be a swamp centered few housed up from us( this area is a hill but swamp was a bit higher on elevation im guessing)
the water runs down through our property down the street

we have a sump pump that was just thrown in the basement with a pvc pipe added and a hole through the foundation( dont know who did that but it seems like a dumb idea to brake holes through foundation)

we are still trying to resolve this with previous owners because they didnt say there were flooding problems. we saw the house during dry season and didnt know how bad it would be during rain season.
they didnt put it on the documents along with other problems.
is the realtor responsible at all for any of not listed problems?
he recommended an inspector that didnt find **** in the house and just said to hire 4 different professionals to inspect what he found...


im gonna start from sealing the crawl space vents and then take out the plastic that was just laying on top of the puddles of water with no tape or anything inside the crawl space

the house was halfassed when it was built it looks like to me
