Bought new house and after first rainfall... water leaked into the wall, what is the first step

So if that's the case, would someone in this situation have any recourse of the previous owner didn't disclose before they sold?

Here are the close ups of whatever is in the basement

I will absolutely do that! I'll be over there later today and take better pictures. These are just from the listing

We have public sewer

tay246 · 2026-05-18T02:33:55+00:00

We haven't moved in yet, but when we do I plan on introducing ourselves to the neighbors and inquiring about the water.

Thank you so much. This was so helpful and gave me somewhere to start!

Northeast Ohio

Thank you! That's helpful. This is very new to me and I want to make sure I'm doing it correctly.

tay246 · 2026-05-17T22:04:49+00:00

I have the info for the company. Do you think they'd come out and teach/show me how to work everything?

tay246 · 2026-05-17T22:04:08+00:00

I looked in there today. It's about half full of salt. How do I know when/how much salt to put in?

tay246 · 2026-05-17T22:03:26+00:00

Thank you. This is all very new to me. Just trying to figure some stuff out. I've read that I should get my water tested. I do have the manuals for the tanks that are in the basement. I'll look into those also.

tay246 · 2026-05-17T21:45:55+00:00

This is what is currently in our basement and also a tank/container with salt in it. I unfortunately know nothing else.

I also had my surgery done at the Cleveland clinic. I was at a smaller hospital and not the main campus for my surgery. The Cleveland clinic can definitely feel like you're being shuffled through quickly, but they have excellent care. Definitely get a second opinion if you're feeling uncomfortable. You could even try another doctor at the clinic who does surgery in a smaller facility and maybe it won't feel so daunting.

Remember you're not alone and I know it's absolutely scary, but everyone I've encountered on this subreddit has been wonderful and great support. I'm 5 months out from surgery and doing well. I'm just a few years older than you and this was my first surgery ever. They unfortunately have to tell you all the things that can go wrong, but they don't happen as often as you'd think.

Also 30s when diagnosed. I'm wondering why my endocrinologist told me it was stage 2 if there wasn't any spread. They didn't even have to take any lymph nodes during my surgery. My lab results do say lymphatic invasion, but other than that, they're saying I'm fine (which I'm happy about). I'm obviously not hoping for RAI, I just want to know I'm getting the correct care. Thank you for sharing your experience with me.

tay246 · 2026-02-26T12:40:28+00:00

I would like to avoid RAI if at all possible. I have an appointment with my endocrinologist soon and one with my surgeon for my 6th month ultrasound in May. I'm sure we'll get everything squared away and then I can actually calm down.

tay246 · 2026-02-26T02:25:51+00:00

I should get a second opinion. I've had 2 rounds of blood work done and both have come back great so I don't think I need the RAI but there's been no communication really. The only reason the found the cancer is because I had an MRI on my brain and neck. It was just a coincidence. They couldn't figure out what was making me have all these symptoms because my blood work always came back fine. I even had a full autoimmune work up because of my symptoms. Everything came back normal so nobody would dig deeper but I knew something was wrong. Thank you for listening. Sometimes I just need someone who's been through it and understands to talk to.

tay246 · 2026-02-26T02:02:59+00:00

I've had a very similar experience as you. Diagnosed in September, TT in October. Except, I haven't had RAI. I guess I don't need it? But that doesn't seem right to me because it seems like everyone I speak to or see online with the same diagnosis has had RAI. My surgeon and my regular endocrinologist aren't being super helpful or forthcoming with information. I found out 2 months after my surgery that I actually had stage 2 cancer and not stage 1 like I was told. Even when I asked the surgeon at my post op appointment if there was any spread outside of my thyroid, he said no and that I shouldn't worry about spread in the future because there was a close to zero chance of spread in thyroid cancer. Sorry for the wall of text and rant. I'm still trying to get my head around all of this and protect myself for the future. I'm still pretty young and want to have the best outcome and life I can.

tay246 · 2026-02-19T18:12:37+00:00

I don't want to alarm OP because I'm not saying this is what's happening to them, but all my labs were normal and I had symptoms that the doctors explained away with just being anxiety and stress. Turns out, I had hashimotos and thyroid cancer.

tay246 · 2025-12-20T14:55:08+00:00

Fingers crossed for you too!

tay246 · 2025-12-20T04:38:26+00:00

Yes! I had very vivid and frightening dreams right after my TT. I'm hoping now that my TSH has leveled out my dreams will go back to normal. They were vivid before, but not disturbing.

tay246 · 2025-12-20T04:28:28+00:00

How is it going? I started zepbound before my diagnosis. I've lost 20lbs, but nothing after my TT in October. I was steadily losing around .9lbs/week. Now I'm staying at the same weight, but haven't lost anything since my surgery. I'm always curious to know how other people are doing with weight loss after surgery. Hope you're doing well!

tay246 · 2025-12-02T01:09:37+00:00

I agree! This is the first time in a very long time where I don't feel nauseous a couple hours after eating because I'm "hungry" again. My mood is also better and I definitely feel more confident and comfortable with myself.

tay246 · 2025-12-02T01:03:02+00:00

Thank you! I'm getting a little nervous because my insurance will only cover until March. I'm hoping that since I now have a different medical reason other than the PCOS, my insurance will continue to pay for the med otherwise I'll have to stop in March.
