I bought a house 1 year ago, it was FHA approved and had a full home

inspection. The owner disclosed he knew of no water problems in

basement and all plumbing was good. With that and my inspection I

felt pretty good about my purchase. I am a single mother. About six

months after I bought my home I had water past my shins in my

basement. This was only the first of many water issues in my

basement. I then found a black slimy substance on a closet wall and

mushrooms growing in the closet. I then had a leak in my bathroom

from exhaust fan, someone came out to look at it and found that the

previous owner put a bucket under a pipe leak in my attic. the access

door was in my bedroom, where my son and I sleep. The bucket was

completely full and about to fall through the floor,(my bathroom

ceiling)-about 20-25lbs of now ice. He had putty all over the pipes,

and hadn't capped of the stool vent pipe. I had an open sewer gas

pipe, the exhaust fan was not vented outside and it appears there is

mold. The insulation is black in some places. My three year old son

in the past year has had pretty bad health issues. He has seen an

allergist and has allergic reactions to almost everything, respitory

problems and is on a nebulizer, nasal spray, and ashtma pill daily.

No lawyer will take my case, they say it is too hard to prove- I am

staying with family but don't know what to do with the house.I can't

afford to fix all of the problems,and can't sell it. Any insight

would be greatly appreciated.
