Written recaps of real Arizona home inspections, each with the full video from the @homeinspectordan YouTube channel.
Four Gilbert homes, four sewer scans: one clean line, one water softener drain dumping into a cleanout, tree roots 17 feet out and buried cleanouts I had to find with a locator.
No cleanouts, so we went in from the roof. The camera found corroded pipe, cockroaches, a flattened section that looks like Orangeburg pipe and a break about 67 feet out.
A Gilbert sewer scan from the front cleanouts: one was buried under rock and landscape fabric, the ABS line was clean to the city connection and a tight bend stopped the camera.
A sewer camera found the pipe underwater from 78 to 106 feet. What a pipe belly is, what causes standing water in a sewer line and what to do next.
Cracked, corroded cast iron under the slab and a reducer in the lateral line. Why a sewer camera scan before closing can save you thousands.
A beautifully remodeled 1950s home in historic Downtown Gilbert, with cracked clay pipe, bellies and cockroaches in the sewer line underneath.
Grease buildup and a large gap where newer ABS pipe meets the original clay line. Here’s what this sewer camera scan found and what happens next.
Fast sewer camera inspections pinpoint clogs, cracks, and roots with video proof and clear repair recommendations to save time and money.
