Here at ATM Home Inspection, we understand that there is more to inspections than just a look around your home. Sometimes you need to go below the surface to find the root of the problem. Which is why we wanted to highlight the essential service that is a sewer scope inspection in this blog. We also will cover the basics, as well as things we look for during a sewer scope inspection.
What is a Sewer Scope Inspection?
When it comes to a sewer scope inspection, the process is relatively simple. Our team will come to your property with our amazing Pro-Built camera system to examine the pipes. Being able to go 100 feet into the sewer line, we will be able to find any problems that you may be facing. Common issues found in a sewer scope inspection include cracks, damage and blockages. We also will give an examination of the overall health of your sewer line, reporting any structural damage found.
Why Does a Sewer Scope Inspection Matters?
As noted in the previous section, a sewer scope inspection provides insight on the overall state of your home’s pipes. We are able to assess the overall health and integrity, as well what could be causing issues, such as tree root intrusion. Not only is it key for homeowners, but buyers as well, as a sewer scope inspection can uncover any hidden problems that could lead to costly repairs down the line if not treated. As for current homeowners, you are able to keep you and your property safe for potential health hazards.
Sewer Scope Inspections with ATM Home Inspection
Here at ATM Home Inspection, we personally recommend that all homes get their main sewer line inspected. Whether you live in the main city or county line up, our amazing team of professionals is here for homes 20 years or older. We also want to specify that we work with homes that have large trees in their yard. The reason being is that a tree’s root system is roughly the same size as the tree above ground. This can lead to roots impacting your pipe due to invasion or crushing of the pipe.
Sewer Lines and Property Value
When you think of your overall property value, you may be thinking about the aesthetics of your home. While that is important, you cannot ignore the significance of what lies beneath the surface regarding your financial outlook. A poorly maintained sewer line is a recipe for decreased property value, as buyers will be hesitant to want to pursue a home that is a ticking time bomb on their bank account. Regardless of your position in the home purchasing process, ATM Home Inspection can help mitigate this with a thorough sewer scope inspection.
