If you are thinking about buying a house, whether it’s new construction or a unit that was built 15 or more years ago, or if you are experiencing flooding or clogging in your home, maybe it’s time for you to have your sewer line scoped. You may not know it but sewer scope inspections are as important as any other inspections.
When Should You Have Your Sewer Scoped?
4 Reasons Why You Need Sewer Scoping
Essential for New Constructions
During the building process, construction materials might be deposited in the home’s plumbing system.
Peace of Mind
Without invasive digging in and around the system determining the state of your sewer pipes and connections can be difficult. These inspections can assist in determining when your pipes need to be replaced, as well as when and where a clog may form in the system so you no longer have to spend your time thinking about water backups.
Knowing the Cause of Blockage
If a blockage isn’t occurring at the drain, it’s most likely deeper down. Most of the time, the blockage is caused by a buildup of hair and other debris in your pipes, but in some cases, a tree root may be to blame.
Save Money
Repairing broken pipes, re-plumbing an entire house, and/or cleaning up after interior floods all add up will cause you a bunch of dollars. Not to mention that an underground leak could be costing you thousands of dollars per month on your water bill.
