Mr. sd92128 could argue that the sellers knew the pipes were still in the slab and that this was a significant defect in the house. It’s almost a given that pipes routed in the slab will leak at some point, especially if the slab is not “post tension”. The fact that the pipes had not been rerouted was an issue that the seller and selling realtor ought to have made the buyer aware of.
