More details to this question:
We purchased a home that backs to a ditch. The ditch flooded in September due to the federally declared disaster floods of Colorado. The seller's never disclosed that the ditch flooded. There are signs of flood damage after we have had to tear out smelly carpet and pads, warped paneling and trim in the basement. Several cracks were found in the slabs after carpet and pad were removed as well. The seller also failed to disclose a mice infestation that we have since found. How do we move forward?

If you can prove that your seller had actual knowledge of the flooding danger then you may have a case for damages and reduced property value. I recommend contacting an attorney to discuss the specific facts of your situation and to decide the best way for you to move forward.
Good luck!
