NO, you would not be liable for an unknown, undisclosed, pre-existing condition as described.

Neither homeowners insurance company would likely consider the situation a covered peril under the terms of a home insurance policy. This seems to be a maintenance issue that would need to be addressed by the individual homeowners.

It would be advisable that the homeowners contact a Plumbing service and have a separate sewage access main installed on each homes property to facilitate future maintenance.
