Sewer Scope
Our inspectors are sewer scope certified!
A sewer scope inspection is a type of home inspection that involves inserting a specialized camera into the sewer line to inspect its condition. The camera provides a detailed view of the interior of the sewer line, allowing the inspector to check for any damage, blockages, or other issues that could cause problems with the home's plumbing system. Sewer scope inspections are particularly important for older homes, as they are more likely to have deteriorating sewer lines that could lead to costly repairs or even sewage backups.
Having a sewer scope inspection is important for a few reasons. Firstly, it can help identify any issues with the home's plumbing system before they become major problems. This can save the homeowner a significant amount of money in repair costs, as well as prevent the inconvenience and health hazards associated with sewage backups. Secondly, a sewer scope inspection can give you peace of mind about the condition of the home you are purchasing. Knowing that the sewer line is in good condition can make the home-buying process less stressful and more enjoyable.
A sewer scope inspection can be used as a negotiating tool during the home-buying process. If issues are found with the sewer line, the buyer can use this information to negotiate a lower price or ask the seller to make repairs before the sale is finalized. This helps ensure that the buyer is getting a fair deal on the home and that they are not stuck with costly repairs shortly after moving in to their new home.
