Sewer Inspections for Real Estate Agents and Property Sales

Sewer inspections help uncover potential plumbing issues before a property is sold. Seattle Select Sewers provides professional sewer inspections for real estate agents to help buyers and sellers understand the condition of the sewer line during the home buying process.

Identify Sewer Line Issues Before Closing

Sewer line problems are not always visible during a standard home inspection. A sewer camera inspection allows technicians to evaluate the condition of the underground pipe and identify issues such as cracks, root intrusion, blockages, or pipe deterioration. For real estate agents, scheduling a sewer inspection can help prevent unexpected problems after closing and provide valuable information for both buyers and sellers during a property transaction.

What We Do

Sewer Inspection Services for Real Estate Transactions

Our sewer inspection services help real estate professionals identify potential sewer line issues before a property changes ownership. Using professional camera equipment, we evaluate the inside of the pipe and provide clear findings that help buyers and sellers make informed decisions.

Sewer Camera Inspection

We insert a high-resolution camera into the sewer line to visually inspect the pipe and identify potential issues.

Sewer Line Condition Assessments

Our inspections evaluate the overall condition of the sewer line, including cracks, root intrusion, and structural damage.

Blockage Detection

If blockages or buildup are present in the pipe, the inspection can help locate the source of the restriction.

Inspection Results for Buyers and Sellers

Inspection findings provide useful information that can help guide negotiations or repair decisions during a property sale.

Yes. Identifying sewer issues early can help buyers and sellers address repairs before closing.

Help Buyers and Sellers Understand Sewer Line Conditions

For real estate professionals, sewer inspections provide valuable information about the condition of a property’s plumbing infrastructure. By inspecting the sewer line before a sale is finalized, potential issues can be identified early and addressed appropriately. This helps reduce surprises after closing and gives both buyers and sellers a clearer understanding of the property’s sewer system.
