I'll bet your agent also referred this inspector. Your agent needs replaced immediately. Go to the broker and explain your situation clearly and calmly. If the broker doesnt immediately satisfy your concerns turn the office in to the state real estate board. The agent is not acting in a duty required by law and you should not be locked into further business with her. When you become the seller whatever doesnt get resolved now will be your duty and expense to repair later. Foundation issues can be very costly. I would rescind my offer and get a new agent if it was my deal.

Do you have any common sense whatsoever?!?! Do you not know that a leaking pipe is a defect?!?! Come on?!?! Are you two?!?!? Walk away from this deal immediately. You will get your earnest money back because of the inspection. Next thing to do is get a realtor that actually makes money at his/her profession!! There are many part time realtors that don't hold their weight and are starving for a check!! A reputable realtor will help you through these trying times and not be worried about the deal falling through! That Realtor is a complete donkey!!!

he's trying to protect his commission and keep the deal from falling apart. don't let anything happen until you are completely satisfied, even if that means walking away from the deal.
and if you bail because the seller won't fix the problems, you get your earnest money back.
