A day after Katie Lebowitz and David Dronning closed on their newly renovated north Phoenix house last summer, they found water all over their kitchen floor.
A plumber scoped the sewer and told the couple it had collapsed, and the house would flood if they ran water. It was just the beginning of the problems.
The former foreclosure house that government-backed Fannie Mae had fixed up and sold to the couple also had hidden mold, asbestos and electrical problems that cost more than $100,000 to fix.
