Sewer Inspections

Sewer inspections are important because any problems with the main sewer line are the financial responsibility of the owner. If there are problems with the sewer line that routine sewer cleaning won’t solve, the repairs will be expensive.

No age of a home is immune to sewer problems. While it’s unlikely, even new homes can have problems with the main building drain. As you might imagine, the potential for problems increases with the age of the home. If you’re buying a new home, you probably don’t need to spend your money on a sewer scan. If you’re buying a century-old home, it’s smart to have a sewer scan done. There is no clear dividing line between homes that should and shouldn’t have a sewer scan performed. The decision will ultimately come down to the new home buyer’s tolerance for risk.

Sewer Inspection Expert

We partner with Inspection Services to conduct all of our sewer inspections. Sewer inspections are not considered to be intrusive inspections, as the property will be left in the same condition as it was when we arrived.

Every sewer scan includes a written report of our findings, as well as a digital video file of the scope. The fee for a sewer inspection is $225. Sewer inspections are scheduled through our office at the same time the home inspection is scheduled.

The video clip below shows a real sewer inspection on a sewer that is in good condition.

Moisture Testing Release Form

  • Moisture Testing Release Form *

    This form must be completed and signed prior to us conducting any moisture testing. We cannot perform the moisture testing requested by the buyers without this form being signed.

    Please call if you have any questions.

    Structure Tech specializes in the moisture testing of buildings for the purpose of determining if there is moisture located behind the exterior wall cladding. A moisture inspection of your property has been requested.

    In order to perform this inspection, we need the permission of the owner. We should have access to all parts of the exterior. Any security systems will need to be shut off during the testing, which can take several hours. We use standard industry practices for conducting the moisture tests, which includes the use of a penetrating probe meter to verify the moisture content of the structural wood and sheathing of the building. 3/16” holes will be placed under most windows and other possible moisture entry areas. These holes will be filled with caulk when the testing is completed.

    We will make every effort to use a caulk that closely matches the color of the surrounding siding; however in some cases the holes may be noticeable upon close inspection. If the holes are of any cosmetic concern the property owner can have them painted with a matching paint.

    I understand the above information and give my permission to test the building located at:
