Sewer Scope Inspections: Essential for Homebuyers
A sewer scope inspection is a critical service we offer during the home inspection process. It involves using a specialized camera to inspect the condition of the home’s sewer line, which is typically underground and inaccessible to the naked eye. The camera is inserted into the sewer pipe to check for blockages, leaks, tree root intrusions, cracks, and other potential issues that could lead to costly repairs or water damage in the future.
Why Should Homebuyers Get a Sewer Scope Inspection?
- Avoid Surprise Expenses: Sewer line repairs can be expensive, with costs often reaching thousands of dollars. A sewer scope helps identify issues early, so you can make an informed decision before committing to a purchase.
- Peace of Mind: Knowing that the sewer system is in good working condition can save you from worrying about potential plumbing disasters after closing.
- Uncover Hidden Problems: Not all sewer line issues are visible in a standard home inspection. A sewer scope is designed to look deeper into the system and uncover problems that may not be apparent but could cause major issues down the road.
- Negotiate Repairs or Price Reductions: If problems are detected, you can use the findings to negotiate repairs or ask for a price reduction to cover the costs of fixing the sewer system.
Don’t Skip the Sewer Scope Inspection!
Sewer line issues are often overlooked but can lead to serious disruptions and costly repairs if ignored. Schedule a sewer scope inspection with your home inspection to ensure your new home’s plumbing is in good condition and make the best decision for your investment.
