A sewer inspection is an essential part of home inspections. It involves examining the sewer line and system of a house to identify potential issues that could affect the home's overall functionality. A sewer line that is clogged or damaged can lead to severe damage to the home, such as water damage and structural issues. In the long run, it's always best to invest in a sewer inspection to prevent costly damages that may occur due to sewer line issues that remain undetected.

The most common causes of sewer line issues are clogging and blockage. This could be caused by build-up of debris such as tree roots or grease, which may eventually result in a clogged sewer line. Besides clogging, the sewer line may also get damaged due to wear and tear, corrosion, or even shifting soil.
