Thank you for replying!
The home inspector took the water samples and sent them to a lab. He didn't do the testing himself.
At this point after the initial findings they have identified that the issue is within the house, not the well. Additional testing was done. Additional samples have now been taken to try to get a better idea of what faucets/pipes are the issue. Hopefully they can narrow things down.
The house is septic, not sewer.
The lead levels are .08 vs the "acceptable" .015.
I have two children under the age of six (one turns six next month). They have children that would have lived there years ago but are now adults.
I'm suspecting lead solder vs lead pipes, given the age of the house. My hope is that we can pinpoint the issue. If not, how much would it cost to replace the bathroom/kitchen pipes? Basement is unfinished. $15,000? I'd be ok with paying that as long as they take it off the sale price. Supposedly the sellers have agreed to repair, knowing that filters are not acceptable to us because they're not a permenant fix, though they don't have a solid plan in place since talking with their water company.
The foundation issue is no joke. In my opinion it has severely impacted the eastern Connecticut real estate market. People aren't buying/selling like they used to do the inventory is sparse.
Side note: great to see other people in Connecticut on here. Didnt know you existed!
