What is a Sewer Line Inspection?
Sewer Line Inspections are used to determine the current condition of the sewer line, and make known any potential damages that cannot be detected otherwise.
- Can be added to a comprehensive home inspection
- Can be offered as a stand-alone service
Description: *A sewer line is a video inspection of the lateral sewer line from the house at or near the foundation to the city, HOA tap, or the septic tank. The inspector runs a camera scope on a 100-foot cord down the sewer line, stopping at the sewer main/septic tank, or until an obstruction prevents it from going any further.
*Note: This is NOT a sewer/septic tank inspection. For information on sewers/septic tanks, please view our Trusted Contractors.
Learn the Facts about Sewer Line Inspections
Root intrusion, crushed/collapsed sewer lines from heavy construction equipment, cracks, holes, pooling, and pipe separation/disconnected joints are just some of the many issues which can occur in sewer lines.
Homes built prior to 2000, properties with non-PVC sewer lines, and any building with trees in the front yard are especially vulnerable to sewer line issues.
New Construction properties may also be vulnerable from incomplete sewer line construction, and construction debris.
Repairs can easily cause upwards of tens of thousands of dollars that the homeowner is responsible for.
