Camera Inspection for Home Sales
A camera inspection for a home sale is a process of using a video camera to inspect the sewer line and septic tank of a property. This is done to identify any potential problems with the sewer system, such as cracks, roots, or blockages. This information can then be used by the buyer and seller to make an informed decision about the purchase of the property.
Camera inspections are typically done by a licensed plumber or licensed cabler. The plumber will insert a small camera into the sewer line and use a monitor to view the images. The plumber will then look for any signs of damage or problems.
Camera inspections can be a valuable tool for both buyers and sellers. For buyers, a camera inspection can help to identify any potential problems with the sewer system that could lead to costly repairs in the future. For sellers, a camera inspection can help to ensure that the property is being sold in good condition and that the buyer is not surprised by any hidden problems.
Camera inspections are not always required for home sales, but they are becoming increasingly common. In some cases, lenders may require a camera inspection as part of the loan process. In other cases, the buyer or seller may choose to have a camera inspection done as a way to protect themselves from any potential problems.
If you are considering buying or selling a home, you should talk to your real estate agent about whether or not a camera inspection is right for you. A camera inspection can give you peace of mind and help you to make an informed decision about the purchase of the property.
Benefits of having a camera inspection done before buying or selling a home:
- Identify any potential problems with the sewer system.
- Get an estimate for the cost of repairs, if necessary.
- Negotiate the purchase price of the home, if there are any problems with the sewer system.
- Get peace of mind knowing that the sewer system is in good condition.
If you are considering having a camera inspection done, there are a few things you should keep in mind:
- The cost of a camera inspection varies depending on the location of the property and the length of the sewer line.
- The inspection typically takes about an hour or more depending on the size of the home.
- You will need to access the sewer line, which may require removing a manhole cover, accessing the basement stack, or digging a small hole.
- The plumber will provide you with a written and video report of their findings.
If you are buying or selling a home, a camera inspection can be a valuable tool to help you make an informed decision about the property.
