Sewer Inspection

[electronman1729]

So my wife and me finally have a house in our sights. The inspector is coming over on Saturday to look at the house. We also need to have the sewer inspected. Is there a company out there that is recommended?

Thanks

Sewer, or the line running to the sewer? In the 4 houses we have owned over 30 years, not once was a sewer inspection called for.

Septic and leeching fields sure, sewer???

I had a $14,000 sewer line repair bill because we didn't inspect ours. I most definately suggest getting one done. Any plumbing service can do it. I DO NOT recommend Ben Franklin Plumbing. Total Plumbing is good.

How old is the house?

Both of my BIL's are in the drain cleaning trade. I know that they can get a camera.
PM me if interested.

House was built in 1978. What concerns me is the huge tree in the front yard. Kind of worried about the tree roots deteriorating the sewer line from the house to the street.

I got out for a mere $8500. I wish I'd had the sewer line snaked before buying. Plenty of places will do it for $99, it's worth it.

BIL can come out and run the main, he's been doing it long enough to feel what is going on.

I think $100 is pretty common for snaking the main line to the street with a camera.

Very valid concerns there! Good on ya for thinking about it, that would certainly be something I'd want to know before buying the house.
