I bought my home (condo) seven years ago and it is now about twenty years old, which is fairly new. And i had to replace a six foot piece of corroded gas line because of dripping water from a hot water line that was never properly secured. they charge me $950.00 to replace the gas line and still have to replace the water lines that have corroded. is the condo development at fault since the water pipes were never properly sealed? all these pipes were inside the ceiling so any inspection that i did would not have revealed this problem. i live in brick town new jersey. any advise welcomed.

I'm not an expert or anything but you have lived there now for 7 years and I don't think you would actually be able to talk the condo development into paying for those repairs for you. They will find some excuse to not pay. Is there anything about that in your homeowners insurance? Maybe have an inspector look at the pipes in other peoples' condos and see if they are like yours??

This is the fun part of being a happy homeowner (or condo owner). It's your responsibility. Take a deep breath and have it fixed. You aren't alone.

Since you bought it I am pretty sure it is your responsibility, but you can try and contact the development people about it. Hope it works out for you.
