As a Canadian Lawyer, well familiar with Small Claims Court:

As Is means that you have absolutely no recourse against the seller. It is totally up to you to do all pertinent inspections and negotiate reductions in the price for anything you find that is not to your liking.
Getting a survey involves signing a contract with a surveyor. In that contract you will find language that limits the liability of the surveyor, usually to not more than a refund of his/her fee.
Going into Court with a grievance worth only $7k (to the US reader, that is more like $5k US these days) is a total waste of your time, even if you had a winning case, which, of course you don't.

Put your energy into other things, you will live longer.
