What people ask before booking one
Is a sewer inspection really worth it when buying?
On an older valley home, it is the highest value inspection for the money that a buyer can add. The lateral is expensive, invisible and usually excluded from a general home inspection. Finding a problem before closing changes who pays for it.
Can you inspect if there is no cleanout?
Sometimes, through another access point, though the view and reach are more limited. Where there is genuinely no access, installing a cleanout is worth considering on its own merits: it makes every future drain call cheaper.
Will the camera find a leak in my water line?
No. A sewer camera works inside drain lines. Finding a pressurised water leak is a different discipline with different equipment, and that is our leak detection page.
