Should I get a sewer inspection before buying a house?

A sewer camera inspection can be helpful when purchasing an older home. It allows plumbers to examine the sewer line for visible cracks, root intrusion, damaged joints, and other issues that standard home inspections may not identify.

A cleanout provides convenient access for drain camera inspection, but it is not always required. Depending on the plumbing system, a plumber may be able to access the line through another suitable opening.

A complete blockage can prevent the camera from traveling through the sewer pipe. Drain cleaning may be necessary before the inspection can continue and reveal the condition of the remaining line.

Sewer line depth varies depending on the property and plumbing layout. When compatible locating equipment is available, plumbers can estimate the depth and position of specific problem areas.

Video availability depends on the inspection equipment and service arrangements. Ask about receiving a recording when scheduling. The plumber can review the footage with you and explain any visible concerns.
