Pre-Purchase Sewer Inspection in Boston, MA
Sewer camera inspection before you buy or sell a home
Buying or selling a home? A hidden sewer line problem is one of the most expensive surprises a buyer can inherit, and it is invisible during a standard home inspection. Before you close, we run a camera down the sewer line and show you exactly what is there: roots, cracks, a collapse, or a clean, healthy pipe. You get clear video and a straight answer, so you can buy with confidence or sell without a last-minute deal-killer. We work fast to fit your inspection window across the Boston metro.

- The property has large trees or an older clay or cast-iron sewer line

Frequently asked questions
Should I get a sewer inspection before buying a home?
Yes, especially on older homes. A cracked or root-filled sewer line is one of the most expensive problems a buyer can inherit, and it is invisible during a normal home inspection. A camera scope before you close tells you the true condition and gives you room to negotiate.
How much does a pre-purchase sewer inspection cost?
Call (781) 858-8314 for a free estimate. Whatever it costs, it is a small fraction of a sewer line repair, which can run into five figures if you find out after closing.
Can you fit the inspection into my closing timeline?
Yes. We know these are time-sensitive, so we schedule fast, often same or next day, to fit your inspection or offer window across the Boston metro.
What happens if the camera finds a problem?
We show you exactly what is there on video and explain your options in plain language. If the line needs work, we handle the repair too, so you can factor it into your negotiation or plan the fix with confidence.
I am a real estate agent or home inspector. Can we work together?
Yes. We partner with local agents and inspectors as their go-to for sewer scopes, with fast turnaround, honest findings, and video you can share with clients. Call (781) 858-8314 and let's set it up.
