Why does the sewer matter when buying a house?
By law the sewer is not part of the tilstandsrapport. A broken pipe under the house can cost tens of thousands of kroner, and a basic ejerskifteforsikring often does not cover it. A TV inspection before you sign shows the condition instead of guesswork.
What does the inspection show?
- cracks and displaced pipes;
- tree roots inside;
- sags where water stands;
- blockages and old clay pipes.
When should you order a sewer inspection?
An old house (before the 1980s), big trees near the pipes, a smell in the bathroom, slow drainage. Write the inspection into your offer as a condition, or agree with the seller that he orders it.
