Immediate plumbing issues after first home purchase

I just bought a 1950s home. When I had line scoped, it was full of water. My realtor updated our contingency condition to say "Sanitary line has standing water. Seller to have the line professionally snaked to restore proper flow. A licensed plumber shall scope and certify that the line is free from material defects. If material defects are identified, Seller shall have such defects corrected by a licensed plumber prior to closing." The seller got 1 material defect fixed and sent us an invoice from plumber that included "Perform post-installation inspection to verify proper function; additional repairs may be required if issues are identified." The day after moving in, 2 additional material defects were found in the sanitary line being backed up and causing kitchen sink to gurgle. Plumber argues they just verified the 5ft spot repair and not the rest of the sanitary line. It's looking like repairs will end up costing 10-20k. What should I do? Can I go after the seller and would that be worthwhile?

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...
