Purchasing a new home is one of the biggest investments you’ll ever make, so it pays to know exactly what you’re getting into—especially when it comes to the condition of the sewer line. Before finalizing a home purchase, it’s always prudent to arrange a pre-purchase plumbing inspection. This includes a thorough sewer video inspection, which uses specialized camera equipment to assess the interior of the sewer pipes in real-time.

Why Sewer Video Inspections Matter

• Spot Hidden Damage: Sewer lines can suffer from cracks, root intrusion, or corrosion that isn’t visible without a camera inspection. Identifying these issues early can prevent costly surprises later.
• Accurate Locating: By pinpointing the exact location of any damage, we can focus on spot repairs rather than replacing the entire line. This saves you time, money, and inconvenience.
• Prevent Major Repairs: If left undetected, minor sewer line issues can escalate quickly, leading to backups, property damage, or the need for a full replacement.
• Peace of Mind: Well over half of the pre-purchase sewer inspections we’ve performed have revealed extensive degradation or damage. Avoid the disappointment of moving into your dream home, only to discover it needs an expensive sewer overhaul.

Benefits for Homebuyers

• Informed Decisions: Armed with the inspection results, you can negotiate repairs or factor potential costs into your purchase agreement.
• Avoid Unexpected Expenses: A malfunctioning sewer can mean expensive repairs, health hazards, and property damage. Catching it early can save thousands of dollars.
• Confidence in Your Investment: Ensuring the home’s sewer system is in good shape offers peace of mind and protects your property value.
