[美国装修] 请帮忙看看Inspection Report. 谢谢！

昨天做的Inspection，晚上收到报告。第一次做买房inspection，对报告里的各种问题的严重程度和花费都没经验，昨晚在网上搜了一些相关资料，但还是有很多拿不准的，想请版上的xdjms给看看，（知道不可能让卖家全部或者大部分cover，）怎么选择要修的跟卖家谈。这个报告里问题还不少:( 房子是90年代的。

8. Furnace Heating and Cooling: White powder noted. Thebyproducts of burning gas are acidic. The white material is the materialproduced when the acid in the exhaust reacts with metal it encounters. If themetal is galvanized, it will react with zinc in the galvanizing the same wayacid reacts with zinc in the battery posts on the car and produce the material.A lot means that exhaust is losing buoyancy and is thus cooling too rapidly. Ifthere is a lot of this product and it goes on long enough, it can ruin anexhaust vent and/or the heat exchanger. Gas Leaks detected.
