This house is for sale and the buyers asked for an inspection of the sewer, where roots were found throughout the pipeline. We recommend an annual root cleaning schedule for anyone who has a clay pipeline, and if you are selling your house, do a full sewer scope inspection before you list it for sale, that way you won't have any big surprises later. If you are buying a house, remember to always get a sewer scope inspection first, that way you're not stuck with a big expensive repair job. Yearly root cleanings are considered routine maintenance in clay pipe sewers. |
