House built in 1900 - pyrite?

    Just wondering if pyrite can exist in an old property built in 1900. I got a strucural survey carried out and the surveyor wrote "due to the age of the property, it is highly unlikely to have an excess pyrite problem in the foundations".

    Is this enough to go by or should I get another survey carried out just in case? Maybe I'm just paranoid.

    Is there a lot of visible cracks that have you concerned?

    It's stood for over 100 years it's going to have faults but pytire isn't going to be one of them

    It's a "cover your ass" comment. There's no problem with a century old house and pyrite.
