[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just a month after closing our basement was flooded. In the disclosure forum the seller stated that they had a flood last year and fixed it. They described the fixes and our inspector confirmed the fixes. They updated their sump pump, graded their hard and put it new gutters. However, for this flood it looks like the water was under the slab as if there is some kind of foundation crack because we found [b]water in the supply ducts[/b]. [b]This house was built in the 60s and they put the supply duct under slab[/b] (incredible right?). The area that was flooded was a different area of the house too.

What are our options? Should we ask our realtor to get in touch with the homeowner. We are devasted as we just closed a month ago. [/quote]

Here is the fix.

Divert water away from that site of house with French drain

Next call your HVAC folks to disconnect those supply ducts built under slab. Then call someone else to pour lots of concrete in those supply ducts to essentially seal them.

This is very common in Long Island. [/quote]

Correct.
