Sewer pipes are underground, hidden away from view. When most people flush a toilet, they have no idea where the water goes. There is no way to know the condition of your sewer pipe until it clogs, and backs up into your home.
At IM Home Inspections, we have the tools to see down the sewer pipe and give you an accurate view, with video, of a home’s sewer pipe so you know if you have a problem, a potential for a problem, or an actual clean line. We can send a special camera down the “main drain line” of your house from the cleanout to where it connects to the utility sewer system. A link to the color video will be in your report, along with descriptions of what was seen. This video will show if the line is clear, clogged, broken, collapsed, or damaged.
There is no way to tell if a sewer line has roots, damage, or other problems without a video scope. Merely flushing the toilets and running the water in the kitchen and sinks can not detect partial blockages, roots, or cracks.
Because we do not offer any repairs of any kind, our sewer scope inspections are unbiased and for your information. We have no interest in pretending the pipes have a made-up problem to try to upsell a repair.
