I used to live in PDX and remember earning a living fixing the sewer pipes in NE Portland old terracotta pipes with coffee cans and cement - I have never been so thankful for a septic system as this video made me... what great advice to spend the money for this inspection and proof that it can be oh so important. Having your Local Agent again prevails - you rock!

Breaks and slumps are really common. But all kinds of issues can be revealed by them. It's not at all unknown, for instance, to find that a house which the books say has a sewer connection is actually still on a cesspool, or a house that the books say has its own connection is actually connected to a neighbor's line. The $100 is cheap insurance for problems that can go all the way into five figures. _Always_ have those sewer lines scoped! Breaks and slumps are really common.

I just get branches and weeds. Last year I was part of three sewer scopes. Two failed on 40 year-old homes on the Westside but the 90 year old home on the Eastside was fine. Go figure. Glad it was the city's problem in this case. Darn, you get all of the exciting stuff. I just get branches and weeds.
