Possible Findings
Depending on the property, a sewer scope can identify:
- blockage;
- damage;
- offset;
- root intrusion;
- deterioration;
- other defects.
Who Should Consider It?
Especially buyers concerned about an older property, repeated drain issues, mature landscaping, or an unexplained plumbing history.
Everything Drains Today Is Not the Same as the Line Has No Problem
A line can function during a showing and still have a developing defect.
Today's working drain does not tell you what the inside of the line looks like.
If a Problem Is Found
Get qualified evaluation and estimates.
Do not let "sewer issue" automatically become "$50,000 catastrophe."
Know what it actually is before you assume the worst.
Important
A qualified plumbing or sewer-scope professional performs the scope and evaluates what the camera shows. Lisa is not a plumber or inspector, and she cannot guarantee what a sewer scope will or will not find.
