How it works

Simple enough for a listing checklist, detailed enough for the buyer.

A lateral inspection documents the private line from the home toward the public connection or septic tie-in when accessible. That gives everyone a clearer view of root intrusion, offsets, standing water, bellies, breaks, and material changes before the buyer inherits a costly surprise.
