A sewer camera inspection is a valuable step in ensuring the sewer line is free from hidden issues that could lead to costly repairs down the line. Sewer systems are not part of a standard home inspection, yet they can have significant hidden problems such as tree root intrusions, pipe blockages, cracks, or pipe misalignments that are not evident during the home inspection.
The sewer camera inspection uses a waterproof camera placed into the pipes to inspect the condition from the inside of the sewer line. The technician will be looking for potential issues that may need repair. Identifying problems before buying a new home can prevent a home buyer from experiencing a major plumbing failure, water damage, or unpleasant back up into the home after you’ve moved in.
In the event the line is clear of any defects, the sewer camera inspection provides peace of mind, ensuring that you’re not inheriting an expensive problem that could affect your home’s overall functionality, value, and ability to enjoy the home with your loved ones.
