Why You Should Inspect Your Sewer System

The home owner is responsible for the main Sewer line, from the house to the property line where it connects to the City line

 
 









 Well you see, the main purpose of a Sewer Scope inspection is to determine the condition of the property's sewer line and to see if the system is functioning properly as part of your house inspectors duties, should a home owner decide to get the recommended sewer inspection. And if the sewer line passes inspection, the seller is released from future liability, leaving the new home owner with nothing but a sewer system that is  in: 

1. Excellent shape ​
2. And will not need any major repairs that will break the bank         
   

​  Lets say you are looking at a home for you and your family, and everything seems to be going great! Home inspection was a go, Radon test was a go, and the sewer lines appeared to be functioning well. It is hidden issues with the sewer pipes that all too often seem to go unchecked and before you know it, BAM! these problems cause a future sewer backup leading to an unexpected, unwanted, emergency repair or replacement.
​  So in a nutshell, getting your sewer line inspected is important because:

• It allows you to see the condition of the lines and spot any potential problems
• Allows you to continue with your new home plans with no surprises later $$$
• If you are selling a property, you will no longer be responsible for future problems
• And it goes without saying, you will save thousands of dollars on repairs or replacements

Sewer Line Inspection Will Save You Money!

Inspecting your Sewer Lines will save you and your family tons of money

Sewer inspections reveal minor issues before they become major issues. A plumber can repair any minor defects found in the sewer system as part of the inspection process. A sewage inspection is also an excellent time for a plumber to do preventative sewer maintenance. Inspections ensure that sewer pipes remain in good working order for decades. Sewer inspections save money in the long run by avoiding the need for major repairs or sewer line replacement.

You go to the doctor when you're sick. When your car reaches a particular mileage, you take it in for service. A sewer line, like your body and your car, requires regular inspections to ensure that everything is in working order.

Sewage inspections are a preventative action that will save you money and the aggravation of having to repair a severely damaged sewer system.
