Sewer line problems are one of the most expensive and frustrating home concerns. Broken pipes, tree root blockage, and structural damage can eventually lead to replacement of the entire sewer line.

But a general Home Inspection does not include the sewer line, since the buried sewer line is not a visible item. A general Home Inspector does not have the specialized equipment or training to inspect the sewer line.

That is why I recommend a separate Sewer Line Inspection. A Sewer Line Inspection is done by running a video camera all the way from the house to the city sewer main. You can see the 3-step process explained at Hydro Physics - Services.

Who needs a Sewer Line Inspection? I recommend this inspection in these cases:

• Homes built before 1985
• Homes with a lot of surrounding vegetation
• Homes with basement toilets that do not flush adequately
• Homes where a sewer cleanout access has been added
• Homes that have had drain cleaning or "Roto-Rooter" type services
• Homes with water staining visible at floor drains
• Homes with sink holes
• Homes with sewer odors
• Homes where the buyer or owner is concerned about the sewer line's condition

If you choose to have a Sewer Line Inspection, I recommend Hydro Physics. This company only does video pipeline inspections. Hydro Physics does not do repairs, thereby avoiding any possible conflict of interest.

I can schedule your Sewer Line Inspection for you, or you can call Hydro Physics directly. If we have enough lead time, the Sewer Line Inspection can be done at the same time as your general Home Inspection.

This recommendation is made strictly as a service to my clients, to help you avoid the high costs of sewer repairs. Eubank Inspections does not receive any commission or other consideration for referring you to Hydro Physics.
