An individual house can have a problem that houses next door might not have. You should have the basement checked for radon, and also the water checked for lead.

Absolutely right, Tamar! My sister's house had high levels of radon and had to be retrofitted with fans and measures to seal it out -- and none of her neighbors had the problem. The same can happen with lead, as you so rightly mentioned. Lead can be a problem with your individual piping, your well and accompanying apparatus or something associated only with YOUR house and not necessarily with the neighbors'.

We got brass faucets some years back and were not informed of the increased levels of lead that puts into the water. It's enough that now warnings are issued against brass faucets and fixtures in houses with children. I think they have improved the fixtures so that now the brass is lined with something else to "protect" the water from it ... but this is only in NEW fixtures, not in ones from just a few years ago.....
