We believe in pricing transparency. WDO Inspections are $119 when combined with a home inspection, or $149 when performed on their own as a standalone service.
What is a sewer scope and why do I need one?
A sewer scope helps determine the condition and materials comprising of the sewage line that leads from your home to the public sewer system, or the home to the septic tank. This is especially important in older homes, as well as homes with larger trees on thier property.
Older homes that used cast iron plumbing for their sewer line are succeptible to rust that corrodes through the sewer line. Homes with larger trees, or certain species of invasive plants & trees, may run into issues with roots damaging the sewer piping. Even settlement may cause damage to the sewage systems of a home.
A few things considered in a sewer scope inspection...
- How long is the sewer pipe?
- Does the property utilize public water or well water?
- Is there any potential for contamination of the water supply?
- What material(s) is the drain pipe made out of?
- Where are the clean outs, if any?
- Are there any breaks in the drain pipe?
- Are there any past repairs that may not be in good shape?
