Was it inspected before you bought it? Did you get any signed guarantee with the sewer listed? A friend of mine just went through the same thing. Everything points to the previous owner knowing about the problem and not disclosing it. The problem is proving that he knew about it. Judge said he felt the previous owner knew about it but we couldn't prove it. Previous owner said he didn't and the judge had to go with that. Sad to say, you are probably on your own. Depending on why it broke, it can be just bad timing. Things like this do just happen.
