How about the construction engineer DOES find that my house has
foundation problems? Then, I have to disclose it to the new buyer when
I sell it (maybe several years down the way). Is there anyway that I
can figure out if my previous owner knew that problem?

Nope. Unless you're clairvoyant. Or they posted about it on usenet
and you can tie their posting address to them.

And, as a practical matter, it's worth knowing that no future buyer
can prove or disprove the results of a construction engineer's
findings or your knowledge or lack thereof.
