Need advice from retired plumbers!
So, we finally get an offer and accepted it here in VA. Trying to be FROGS soon..Home inspection was done today. After 6 ( yes 6!) hours, the inspectors only "bad "thing was we have polybutelone(sp) ( quest ) pipes in house. We have a rancher 19 years old with never a problem. Inspector says "Big thing on 60 minutes, large suit, terrible thing about these pipes... blah blah.."..Ok So...< first I freak out, research and then call a plumbing co to look. Their response was. "Well if it were a 2 story I would be upset but this is a ranch and honestly if there were going to be problems, you would have seen them years 4-10 ..Also, if they want it, I can replace the ones in the wall only where damage could occur ( 1200) or the entire ones under the house 2600.00..Buyer is a realtor by trade ( buying for herself) says these quest pipes are the "kiss of death" for any home sale..HELP, what is the truth about this situation???
