There could be more issues with the property and you have not yet found out about. Did you hire an home inspector before buying?

We have an attorney as do they... and they both know what's happening and they have admitted knowing about the problem ahead of time and just left it. They didn't know the water was going down the wall as opposed to down the drain.
So they've agreed to cover the repairs.
Still puts our plans on hold longer than we wanted but at least it's being taken care of.
Thanks everyone for the advice and everything.
