01Sewer & drain

A sewer lateral repair can run into the thousands. When a home inspection does not cover the sewer line, agents who recommend a camera scope protect their clients and their own reputation. We make it easy to add to the inspection process.

We work directly with agents. You give us the property address, the inspection window and the best contact. We schedule, inspect and provide a professional written report with video that is ready for the closing file. If we find something, we explain the findings in terms agents and buyers understand, not plumbing jargon.

Many transactions in North Jersey involve homes with clay, cast iron or Orangeburg laterals that are decades old. A five-minute scope tells you whether the line is solid or whether there is a negotiation point the buyer needs to know about before the attorney review ends.

05Questions

What people ask about sewer inspections for real estate

How quickly can you schedule an inspection?

We work with transaction timelines. Let us know your inspection window and we will fit it in. If the deadline is very tight, call us directly so we can prioritize.

What does the report include?

A written summary of pipe material, condition and any defects, plus the video footage. We describe each finding in plain language so it is useful for buyers, sellers and attorneys.

Can an agent or inspector be present during the scope?

Yes. We can walk you through the footage on-site in real time. Many agents prefer to see what the camera sees as we go.

Do you work on both the buyer and seller side?

Yes. Listing agents sometimes order a pre-listing scope to disclose the condition up front. Buyer's agents order them during the inspection period. The inspection is the same either way.
