HALE, J.

When the Bjorvatns bought their house on Sand Point Way Northeast in Seattle in 1962, they knew it had been badly damaged by a sinking of the land. They did not expect, however, that, years after they had repaired and restored the house, the construction of a sewer nearby would produce a similar damage. They bring this action against the Municipality of Metropolitan Seattle and the sewer contractor for injuries to their house and land.
