Key Contaminants Detected in Thurman

How Old Is Thurman's Housing Stock?
With 45% of homes built before 1986, lead solder in plumbing is a potential concern. The EPA banned lead solder in 1986, but many older homes retain original plumbing.
Source: U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS).
Housing Age Profile
For a city with a median build year of 1981, Thurman carries a housing profile that straddles the 1986 federal ban on lead solder in plumbing. Neither predominantly new nor predominantly old, the stock presents a moderate aggregate risk environment - with individual risk varying sharply depending on when and where a specific home was built.
Most homes in Thurman were built after 1986, reducing the risk of lead contamination from plumbing. Older homes should still be tested.

Thurman: Remediation Cost in Perspective
Property values and remediation costs in Thurman combine to produce a high equity share - the financial burden here is significant.
At 2.1% of home value, remediation costs in Thurman represent a significant financial burden. For homes valued near the median, fixing water and safety issues could cost $1,600–$4,100. Home values here are 29% below the Ohio average.
Protecting Children from Lead in Thurman
Why children are most at risk: The CDC states there is no safe level of lead exposure for children. Children under 6 absorb lead more readily than adults, and even low levels can cause developmental delays, learning difficulties, and behavioral problems.
Although utility-side compliance with federal Lead and Copper requirements remains the system reference, that compliance does not extend down into interior plumbing. With 45% of Thurman stock built before the solder ban and aggregate readings at or beyond the action mark, a household-level sample becomes the practical way to close that information gap.

Historical Flood-Claim Evidence for Thurman
Historical NFIP data for Thurman contains 2 flood insurance claims. Among claims with payment data, the average reported building, contents, and ICC component sum is $34,590. Among ZIP codes with claim records, 100% have an A- or V-family dominant rated zone recorded in those historical claims. This is not a complete current FEMA property-map inventory.
How flooding affects water quality: Flood events can introduce sewage, agricultural runoff, and industrial chemicals into water supplies. Even after floodwaters recede, contamination can persist in wells and aging infrastructure. The <strong>$2,800</strong> remediation estimate shown here excludes flood insurance and is not derived from NFIP claim count.
Claim count does not establish current property risk. Check the exact address in FEMA's current map and obtain a property-specific insurance quote when relevant.
