Get Inspected Before You Buy

At A1 Sanitary Sewer Service our plumbing professionals are ready to give your sewer and drainage systems a thorough inspection. So you know what you are looking at before you commit to making that purchase.

It is important to have your home’s sewer inspected before buying for several reasons. One of the main reasons is to identify any potential issues with the sewer system. This can include things like broken pipes, clogs, or leaks. These issues can be costly to fix and can lead to major problems if left untreated. For example, a broken pipe can cause sewage to leak into the home, leading to a health hazard and costly repairs.

What causes sewer issues

• Poor drain maintenance – Clogs
• Items and debris entering the sewer – Clogs
• The property being 10+ Years old – Collapsed Pipes
• Surrounding trees – Roots and collapsed pipes
• Previous industry may be problematic

Another reason to have a sewer inspection before buying a home is to determine the condition of the sewer system. If the system is old or in poor condition, it may need to be replaced, which can be a costly expense. A sewer inspection can also help to determine if the sewer system is up to code and if any upgrades or repairs are needed to bring it up to current standards.

Additionally, a sewer inspection can also reveal if there are any issues with the sewer line connecting the house to the main sewer line. This can also reveal if there is any blockage or damage in the main sewer line which may lead to costly repairs and maintenance.

Finally, having a sewer inspection before buying a home can give peace of mind and help to ensure that you are making a sound investment. It can help to identify any potential issues that may affect the value of the home, and provide you with the information you need to make an informed decision about whether to purchase the home.

In conclusion, a sewer inspection before buying a home is an important step in the home buying process. It can help to identify potential issues, determine the condition of the sewer system, reveal any issues with the sewer line connecting the house to the main sewer line, and provide peace of mind. It is advisable to hire a professional plumber or inspector who have experience and knowledge in sewer line inspection to make sure the inspection is done properly.
