🏡 Why a Sewer Scope Is Just as Important as a Home Inspection 🚽

When buying a home, most buyers understand the importance of a home inspection—but many overlook one of the most expensive systems on the property: the sewer line.

For about $200 more, a sewer scope inspection can provide valuable information that isn’t visible during a standard home inspection. A specialized camera is inserted into the sewer line to evaluate its condition and identify potential problems before they become your problem.

A sewer scope can reveal:
✔️ The type of material the sewer line is made from
✔️ How deep the line is buried
✔️ Root intrusion
✔️ Cracks, breaks, or separated sections
✔️ Bellies or low spots where waste can collect
✔️ Blockages or other hidden issues

I’ve seen sewer repairs cost thousands—even tens of thousands—of dollars. Spending a little extra upfront can save you from a major surprise after closing.

If you’re buying a home, a sewer scope is often money well spent and one of the best investments you can make during the inspection period.
