Confirm the access point
Cleanouts are preferred, while other access methods may require additional work or fees. Access affects how much of the line can be viewed.
Follow the line to its connection
The inspection should progress through the private lateral as conditions allow, documenting material changes and visible defects.
Save a maintenance baseline
Even a serviceable line benefits from a dated recording that can be compared with future symptoms or inspections.
Translate findings into timing
Immediate hazards, maintenance items, and monitor-only conditions should not be treated as if they carry the same urgency.
Questions specific to this resource
home sewer inspections FAQ
Should a newer home receive a sewer inspection?
Age alone does not rule out installation defects, construction debris, offsets, or damage, so buyers may still find a scope useful.
Is this a full home inspection?
No. Spokane Rooter specializes in the sewer-line portion and can coordinate timing with a separate whole-home inspector.
How quickly is the report delivered?
Digital reports and videos are generally delivered within 24 hours after payment.
