If you discover undisclosed defects like drywall in pipes after purchasing a home, you may have a case against the previous owners. Success depends on proving the sellers knew about the defect, did not disclose it, and that the defect was not obvious during inspection. Consulting a real estate attorney is advisable for detailed advice.
