Buy the house, not the sewer surprise.
A camera inspection of the sewer line gives buyers, sellers and agents a recorded look at the pipe before closing, so repairs are priced in instead of discovered later.
- Visit: About one to two hours
- You get: Recorded video and written summary
- Timing: Scheduled quickly around the contract dates
What it is, and why it matters.
A sewer line repair or replacement can cost thousands, and a standard home inspection does not look inside the pipe. Older neighborhoods in and around Nashville often have clay, cast iron or fiber pipe under mature trees, and the condition of that line is one of the biggest unknowns in a purchase.
We camera the lateral from the cleanout to the connection, record the video and write a plain summary of what we saw, with distances and pictures. Buyers use it in negotiation, sellers use it to show the line is sound and agents use it to keep a closing on schedule. We aim to schedule inspections quickly because timelines are tight.

Real Estate Sewer Inspections: common questions
Is a sewer scope part of a normal home inspection?
Usually not. Many general inspectors do not scope the sewer line, so it is a separate service. Buyers of older homes or homes with large trees commonly add it.
What if the camera finds a problem?
You have choices: negotiate a credit, ask the seller to repair it or plan the repair yourself. We explain the repair options and give you a written estimate to use in the discussion.
How do I get a price for real estate sewer inspections?
Fill in the form or call or text 615-209-7643. We confirm what is involved and send a written price, and most properties get a free estimate visit.
