Sewer Scope Inspection Information
We offer an add-on service to scope the main drain. This is performed with a High-Definition camera that is fed from the main clean-out to the sewer connection.
SUPER IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ THIS!
One of the most inconvenient and costly repairs a homeowner may face is failure of the main drain line connecting the home drain to the sewer. These repairs can run into the thousands of dollars and it is never timely nor financially convenient when it occurs. Unfortunately, the main drain line is underground and not visible therefore it is outside the scope of a standard home inspection.
While no home is immune to damage to the main line, it is most often seen in homes where the sewer line is 15 years old and older or has trees in areas close to the main line AND especially if the home was built between 1980 and the early 1900’s. If the home you are purchasing fits this description, please consider having the main line scoped. It will likely be a recommendation in our inspection report.
We offer an add-on service to scope the main drain. This is performed with a High-Definition camera that is fed from the main clean-out to the sewer connection. If you schedule this service to be performed at the time of the home inspection, the cost is $125.00. A licensed plumber may typically charge $300.00 or more for this service. This service is regularly performed on older homes and often issues are discovered that should be addressed. Some issues include early signs of clogs, collapsed lines and tree roots growing inside the line. Even if you are purchasing the home As-Is, sewer line repairs may not be a cost you are willing to incur.
Before choosing this service, please contact the seller or your realtor and ask if any repairs or improvements have been made to the main sewer line. If no improvements have been made, please consider adding this service to your inspection.
