Your sewer system is something you probably never think about… until something goes
wrong. However, the time to find out if a sewer is faulty or needs repair is before a leak or backup occurs, not after. In fact, regular sewer inspections are vital for any house over 20 years old. That’s because older homes are usually built on aging clay pipes that are more vulnerable to root intrusion, but even newer homes may be connected to an older sewer line. Most sewer lines last for 40 years, but that’s not always the case. Inspections make sure that pipes are clear of blockages and functioning properly for years to come.
