Consolation: No one has a sump pump in the cellar unless there is occasionally water. The asbestos insulation on the pipes was right there for anyone to see. And so forth.

Well, that’s not necessarily true. Everyone I know who has a low-lying house - or a basement - gets a sump pump because there is occasionally heavy rain here. It’s just protocol. Some have never had any damage and don’t want any!

Sure, asbestos needs to be disclosed IF known. Some sellers really are ignorant, yet others are concealing. It is hard to know.
