Sewer-Oscopy provides detailed video inspections of lateral sewer lines in homes and commercial property. We also provide a "clean out" service to remove any obstructions discovered in the line if necessary. We are reasonable and reliable and veteran owned. "Call us if you're backed up"!

"DO NOT patronize this business! They were subcontracted by our home inspector and completely missed serious issues with our basement plumbing. About three weeks after moving in, we noticed water leaking into the basement. We brought in a master plumber with over 30 years of experience, and he immediately identified major problems—pipes that needed to be dug up and replaced. He was able to access and view the pipes and said these issues absolutely should have been caught during the initial inspection. He even took the time to explain to Chris (the original inspector) what was missed and what should have been done. When we asked the company to cover a portion of the repairs due to their negligence, they claimed they did their best and revealed they have no insurance. There was zero accountability. I wouldn't recommend this company to my worst enemy. Please save yourself the stress, financial burden, and frustration—choose another inspection company. Don't make the same costly mistake we did."

Home Inspection questions, answered by experts

In most cases, no. The purpose of an inspection is to highlight any glaring issues with the property that the buyer might use to negotiate or want to rectify after closing, but there’s no law stating the inspection must pass. A buyer can accept any problems identified during a failed home inspection. The only exception would be lender-required repairs, which could hold up the mortgage.

A home inspection evaluates the property visually to determine whether there are any structural problems that the current homeowner must repair before selling. A home appraisal is a thorough evaluation of the property and its surrounding area to determine its current market value, which informs homeowners of the value of their home to help set the asking price. The appraisal will guide the mortgage company’s lending decision.

It depends on the reason for the sagging floors, but since sagging floors are usually a sign of foundation damage that you could have avoided, chances are your homeowners insurance policy will not cover the necessary repairs. Not only that, but your provider likely won’t cover the actual foundation damage that is causing the issue either, as it’s considered an avoidable type of damage, and negligence isn’t covered by most insurers.

In many cases, you can sell your house if it has aluminum wiring, but you are likely required to disclose that fact during the sale. In some cases, your city or area may have banned the sale of homes with aluminum wiring, so you’ll need to update the wiring or arrange for its replacement as part of the sale. In some cases, it will benefit your home sale to replace the wiring system before putting it on the market.

You can guarantee that you hire a professional home inspector by reviewing their qualifications, years of experience, customer reviews, and certifications before hiring. If you’re working with a realtor, they can recommend at least one trusted professional home inspector. You can always confirm the credentials of a home inspector by checking for affiliations with organizations like the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors or the American Society of Home Inspectors.
