I've brought in an expert in Todd Vecchio of Sound Sewer Inspection to help me explain the process.</span></div> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;"> <br /></div> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: &quot;arial&quot;; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">A sewer inspection is an important part of the house you're buying that you can't see, Todd says, and can have a value from $50,000 to $75,000. </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: &quot;arial&quot;; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">It's the one part of the house that has a very substantial value that you can't see.</span><br /> <span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: &quot;arial&quot;; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span> <span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: &quot;arial&quot;; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div> <div style="background-color: white; border: solid 1px #c9c9c9; display: block; margin: 0 auto; padding: 20px 10px; width: 80%;"> <span style="color: #0985f7; display: block; float: left; font-family: &quot;arial&quot; , sans-serif; font-size: 100px; line-height: 50px; position: absolute;">“</span><br /> <div style="color: black; font-weight: bold; margin-top: -20px; padding: 0px 10px; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: &quot;arial&quot; , &quot;helvetica&quot; , sans-serif; font-size: large;">A sewer inspector will put a camera into <br />the system's pipes, like a colonoscopy <br />for the house.</span></div> <span style="color: #0985f7; display: block; float: right; font-family: &quot;arial&quot; , sans-serif; font-size: 100px; line-height: 50px;">”</span> </div> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;"> <br /> <br /></div> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: &quot;arial&quot;; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">A sewer inspector will put a camera into the system's pipes, like a colonoscopy for the house. The camera will travel every inch of the pipes, from where it leaves the house all the way to the street. You want to be sure the system doesn't have any cracks, breaks, or root intrusions. Root intrusions can be a big problem here in Seattle.</span></div> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;"> <br /></div> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: &quot;arial&quot;; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">As Todd says, it's a really good $200 insurance policy to make sure you don't have a $30,000 problem out in the street. Along with the inspection, you'll get the video and a thorough report so that you get the total picture. </span></div> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;"> <br /></div> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: &quot;arial&quot;; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If you're interested in learning more or you have questions about sewer inspections for Todd, you can give him a call at (206) 619-9990 or email him at [email protected].</span></div> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <i style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: 21.56px;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-994299c8-d15d-9a2e-e44d-ca018bf40e90"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: &quot;arial&quot;; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If you have any real estate questions for me or you're thinking about buying or selling a home in the Seattle area, don't hesitate to give me a call or send me an email.
