"Highly recommended. Chet was thorough, candid, and more than happy to field a ton of questions. Really enthusiastic. Very knowledgeable, explained why some repairs were more urgent than others, and even had suggestions for maintenance once we move in."

Sewer Main Inspections

Inspect the Sewer Main ​

• Perhaps one of the most unseen yet expensive parts of the home is the main sewer line. Knowing what shape the main is in before you buy or sell is very important.
• The line will  be scoped from the house to the street.
• We check for broken or cracked pipes, low spots, tree roots, etc.
• The client is provided with a DVD recording of the scoping, along with a comprehensive report of the line's composition, depths, actions suggested (if needed) and approximate costs shoud repairs be warranted.
• This test is performed through the sewer clean-outs, toilets will not be pulled to provide an access.

Check out this short video to watch a scoping.
