Why Every Homebuyer Should Get a Sewer Scope Inspection Before Buying a Home in Arkansas and Missouri

Should You Get a Sewer Scope Inspection Before Buying a Home? Buying a home is one of the biggest investments you'll ever make. While a standard home inspection evaluates many major systems, the underground sewer line is typically not visible during a routine inspection. That's why many homebuyers choose to add a sewer scope inspection.

At Cherokee Home Inspection LLC, we provide professional sewer scope inspections throughout Northeast Arkansas and South Central Missouri to help identify potential issues before you purchase a home.

A sewer scope inspection uses a specialized waterproof camera that is inserted into the home's main sewer line. The camera allows us to evaluate the visible condition of the pipe from the home toward the sewer connection or septic system.

• Bellies (low spots that may collect water)

Replacing an underground sewer line can be expensive. Identifying visible issues before closing may help buyers make informed decisions and discuss repairs or further evaluation with the seller.

Even newer homes can have sewer line problems caused by construction debris, improper installation, or accidental damage during construction.

A sewer scope inspection is recommended for:

• Homes connected to a municipal sewer system

• Any buyer who wants additional information about the condition of the sewer line
