Pre-Listing Sewer Inspection for Home Sellers
Scope your own sewer before the buyer does. A clean recording is a selling point, and a problem found early is one you control.

RECCH 0200:00:00Pre-Listing Sewer Inspection explained.
If a buyer’s scope finds a problem during the inspection window, you negotiate under pressure. If you find it first, you choose the contractor, the timing and the story.
We scope your line before you list, record it, and give you a written summary. A clean scope can go in the listing packet as proof that the line is sound. A problem gets a plan and a quote before anyone is at the table.
