As a realtor, you need to ensure a home is in perfect condition before listing it on your website or start looking for a buyer. There are various factors to consider, such as the number of bedrooms, price, and location, but most realtors forget to check the sewer system. In some cases, it comes with underlying problems that require immediate sewer line repair in Columbus, OH.
Everything in a home could look fine on the outside, only to discover later that the sewer system is about to collapse. DrainMaster, your trusted provider of sewer repair services, looks for the following red flags during an in-depth sewer inspection to help you get ahead of any issue.
Clogs
We first look for blockages caused by hair, grease, food scraps, and other debris in your sewer pipes. Our certified plumber in Columbus, OH inserts a high-definition camera attached to a flexible cable into the sewer pipes and identifies the exact location and size of the blockage.
Tree Roots
Besides wear and tear, our team will inspect the system for tree root intrusion to determine if sewer line replacement or repair is necessary. Tree roots expand underground and force their way into the cracks on the pipes, obstructing wastewater flow. Once we determine that tree roots are causing a problem in your sewer lines, we may recommend hydro jetting to remove them along with other debris.
Unpleasant Odors
Bathrooms don’t always smell good, but if the smell has a sewage-like odor, it indicates that the sewer lines might have a leak. Sewage may eventually backup and pose health risks if left ignored for a long time. If you notice an odd smell, it’s important to hire a professional to assess the system and determine whether they need to repair or replace sewer line before it becomes a serious problem.
A thorough sewer inspection will save your clients from buying a home with potential problems. It’s also a great way to build your portfolio and reputation as a realtor.
