Ok, so you’re getting a home inspection and the sewer lines are included with that right? The answer is yes but only the portions of the pipes that are visible. Since the majority of the sewer line is hidden behind the walls and under the ground the only true way to determine the condition of the sewer line is to have a sewer line video inspection preformed. Home buyers rarely consider a sewer line inspection during the home buying process and yet it is just as important as the home inspection itself. The best time to find out if there is a problem with the sewer line is before you buy the house not after. Tree roots are a common problem with sewer lines. Their roots can grow into tiny openings and create clogged up pipes. Midwest Home and Property Inspection recommends having a Sewer Line Video Inspection preformed in conjunction with your Home Inspection.
