Re: easements

If you can establish that the sewer drainage lines were installed improperly, they will have to be corrected. You will need some engineering report to verify this. You may have no recourse if the easement for sewers was in place when you purchased your property, other than to have them correctly installed. As to the structure, you may also have the right to have it removed and replaced on their land. This would involve further looking at the terms of the easements to verify the erection was improper.
