Today I wanted to take a moment to tell you about why it's important to do a sewer scope or inspection on a property. I've brought in an expert in Todd Vecchio of Sound Sewer Inspection to help me explain the process.
A sewer inspection is an important part of the house you're buying that you can't see, Todd says, and can have a value from $50,000 to $75,000. It's the one part of the house that has a very substantial value that you can't see.

A sewer inspector will put a camera into the system's pipes, like a colonoscopy for the house. The camera will travel every inch of the pipes, from where it leaves the house all the way to the street. You want to be sure the system doesn't have any cracks, breaks, or root intrusions. Root intrusions can be a big problem here in Seattle.
As Todd says, it's a really good $200 insurance policy to make sure you don't have a $30,000 problem out in the street. Along with the inspection, you'll get the video and a thorough report so that you get the total picture.
