What buyers need to know about the Sewer Line
Your buyers just closed on their dream home and the sewer backs up and floods the basement. Did they get a sewer line inspection when they ordered their home inspection? Is this something an agent asks the buyer to consider when they are already spending upwards of $450.00 for a home inspection?
Could an additional $250.00 spent on a camera down the sewer line be good insurance to prevent the new homeowner from getting hammered with a broken sewer line, which is usually concrete or clay , depending on what year the home was built and if there were any upgrades to the drainage system.
My client spent $2500.00 for a partial sewer line replacement on his rental home and I thought this may be a good thing to pass along to any future buyers of older homes that have not had an inspection of the sewer line.
