Often a home’s sewer line is omitted from the inspection report. Sewer lines run underground, making it difficult for inspectors to assess the line’s quality or condition..
Inspectors may be able to evaluate the sewer line for stoppages or blockages by running faucets, showers and flushing the toilet. But tree roots which did not block the pipes at the time of the inspection can invade and grow into the lines between the time of the inspection and when the client moves in.
Other expensive sewer problems can also develop after a month or two, including line collapses.
This is why SewerGard coverage is important due to the cost and effort required to repairs these issues that are beyond the typical backup.
