Hi All,
new to the blog but I hope someone can help out. Looking at buying a house 12 years old. everything looks great until I get to the basement.... most of the joints carrying water have significant corrosion - much more than they should. the house has well water. I would hate to make an offer on the house and find out 1) the water has a serious contamination issue, 2)it will require significant money to put in a purification system and 3) most likely all the piping will need to be taken out.
I would rather use that as part of the negotiation up front rather than after an offer is made.
Any thoughts of what the corrosion may be? photos attached.
