Sewer Camera Inspections: A Critical Step in Your Arizona Home Purchase
When purchasing a home in Arizona, one of the most overlooked areas to inspect is the sewer and plumbing system. Sewer line issues can be costly, inconvenient, and disruptive, yet they are often hidden from view. At Gracie Home Inspection, we offer advanced sewer camera inspections to help you avoid the risk of expensive repairs and ensure that your new home is safe and sound from the ground up.
Why Is Sewer Camera Inspection Important?
Sewer line problems can be difficult to detect with a traditional home inspection. Issues like blockages, tree root intrusion, leaks, or collapsed pipes can remain hidden deep underground until they cause significant damage. A sewer camera inspection is an essential service that allows us to thoroughly examine the condition of the home’s sewer system and give you an accurate picture of its health before you finalize the purchase.
Here’s why a sewer camera inspection is crucial when buying a home in Arizona:
1. Uncover Hidden Sewer Line Issues
Sewer problems can lurk unnoticed for years, only to be discovered after you’ve moved in. A sewer camera inspection uses a high-tech, waterproof camera to inspect the inside of the sewer line, providing a clear view of any potential issues. Whether it’s tree root intrusion, cracks, or blockages, we can spot problems that may not be visible from the surface.
2. Avoid Expensive Repairs
Sewer repairs can be extremely costly, especially if the issue is extensive and requires excavation. If problems like a cracked pipe or tree root intrusion are found later, the repair costs could run into the thousands. A pre-purchase sewer camera inspection can help you avoid these unexpected expenses by giving you the opportunity to negotiate repairs with the seller or adjust your offer.
3. Prevent Health Hazards
A failing sewer line can lead to wastewater backups, which can cause health hazards and damage to your property. Raw sewage backups can contaminate your home’s foundation, yard, and even your indoor living spaces. Identifying and fixing sewer problems before they lead to these types of situations can help protect your home, health, and well-being.
4. Peace of Mind
Purchasing a home is a major investment, and you want to ensure that you’re not inheriting costly hidden issues. A sewer camera inspection gives you peace of mind, knowing that you have a comprehensive understanding of the property’s plumbing system. If problems are found, you can make an informed decision about how to proceed, whether it’s negotiating for repairs or addressing the issue before closing.
