When considering purchasing a home or adding to your real estate investment portfolio, it’s natural to focus on the obvious aspects, such as the roof, foundation, plumbing and electrical systems.
However, one often overlooked but crucial service is a sewer scope inspection. While it may come with an additional price tag, the value it provides is undeniable.
Take, for example, a recent inspection Pierre conducted. During the inspection, he noticed signs that the sewer line had been recently augered—something that might easily go unnoticed without a trained eye. Fortunately, this buyer had opted to add a sewer scope to their inspection package. As it turns out, the sewer scope revealed that the bottom of the sewer line was damaged, which could have led to major issues down the road.
Although everything is fixable, consider the potential costs if the line runs through the neighbour’s property or beneath your garage. These scenarios can significantly increase repair costs and complications. That’s why it’s crucial to know the condition of your sewer line before purchasing a home.
Imagine the costly repairs and disruptions that could have been avoided by identifying this problem before finalizing the purchase. Sewer issues are not only expensive to fix, but they can also lead to significant damage and inconvenience. By investing in a sewer scope, this homebuyer was able to make an informed decision and potentially save thousands of dollars in future repairs.
Don’t underestimate the importance of a thorough inspection that includes a sewer scope. It’s a small investment that can protect you from big surprises.
