There is a difference between lying, and being wrong. Your sales person probably told you that there was no report of any problems with drainage at your property, because nothing had been reported. The sales reps aren't required to tell you about things they don't actually KNOW about. They only have to disclose the things they DO know about.
If they don't know of problems, then they aren't lying when they tell you there is no evidence of problems. Because if there was evidence, it should have been reported, or repaired already. That is on the previous homeowner, not on the sales person.
