Should I have a Sewer Scope?

Many home buyers do not know they are responsible in most cases for the line that goes from the house to the main sewer line. Repairing this can cost several thousand dollars if it needs repair. A sewer scope usually costs less than $100 and is a simple way to verify the line is connected and functioning properly. The technician simply runs a camera line down the line and takes a really "crummy" video to verify condition. I highly recommend it to all my clients during the inspection process, when buying a new home.
