Can home builder be sued for installing drain tiles incorrectly in 40-yr old house?

04 Jun

Contractor just did drain tile test; found drain tiles were placed above the footings and we now have severe foundation trouble. Contractor said he could not imagine how house passed initial inspection. This happened 40 years ago. Can we get satisfaction from the builder? We are the second owners.

Can installing a sewer vent in the line outside the home relieve gas smell?

21 Apr

We live in Central America where most homes are built with concrete, brick or cinder block, and mortar. It is not a custom to install vent lines in homes and most homes have a sewer smell in them due this fact. We tie into the city’s sewage system, as with most homes here. We don’t have the plans detailing the drainage system within the home and the builder is no where to be found. We would have to break tile, rip a line in the brick wall inside the upstairs bathrooms to install a vent line directly near the two toilets and tubs upstairs since that is where most of the drains are located. We have a half bath downstairs and the kitchen sink with an outer maids quarters (full bath) located near by. I would hate to destroy the tile work looking for the lines to tap in a vent line and even then, it would be nearly impossible to determine which trap is downstream from the others. Would installing a vent on the sewege pipe going to the city system, or anything else, help at all?
