Know Before You Close – Expert Sewer Inspections by Buckeye Drain

At Buckeye Drain, we offer detailed point of sale sewer inspections designed to help homeowners and real estate professionals meet local requirements and avoid costly surprises during property transactions. Serving Cleveland, OH, as well as surrounding communities like Chagrin Falls, Chardon, Mayfield, Beachwood, Willoughby, and Mentor, our team specializes in identifying sewer line issues before they become major problems. These inspections are often required by municipalities before a home can be sold, and our reports are tailored to meet local code compliance standards. With a combination of high-resolution camera inspections and experienced technicians, we are able to accurately assess the condition of underground sewer lines, locate damage, and document any defects such as cracks, bellies, root intrusion, or collapsed pipes.

Our process starts with a video camera inspection, where we run a specialized waterproof camera through the sewer line to provide a full view of the interior condition. This allows us to pinpoint blockages, deterioration, or potential future failures with precision. If problems like heavy buildup or obstructions are found, we offer professional hydro jetting services to restore flow by clearing out debris, grease, and tree roots using high-pressure water. We also provide clog and leak detection services that help identify hidden plumbing issues that could otherwise delay the sale of a home or result in expensive repairs after closing. Whether you’re a homeowner preparing to list your property or a buyer seeking peace of mind, Buckeye Drain provides thorough, transparent, and affordable point of sale inspections throughout Northeast Ohio.

FAQs

  • Many cities in Northeast Ohio, including Cleveland, Chagrin Falls, and Mentor, Willowick, Wickliffe, Eastlake, and Burton require a sewer inspection before a property can be sold. But what exactly does that entail?
    A point of sale sewer inspection is a mandatory evaluation of a property's sewer lateral (the pipe that connects the home to the city sewer system). It's typically required by local municipalities to ensure the sewer system is functioning properly and not contributing to public sewer issues. Buckeye Drain provides certified video documentation and inspection reports that meet or exceed all city requirements, helping prevent delays in the sale or transfer of property ownership.

  • Will a failed inspection stop the sale of my home?
    If an issue such as a blockage, broken pipe, or root intrusion is found during the inspection, Buckeye Drain will provide a detailed report and video footage. Most cities require these problems to be addressed before the home can be sold. We offer fast and effective solutions, including hydro jetting and repairs, to fix issues quickly and get your sale back on track. In some cases, an escrow agreement may be allowed so the sale can proceed while repairs are scheduled.

We offer transparent estimates with no hidden fees. Our team understands that time is critical in real estate transactions, so we prioritize fast turnaround on reports and repairs when needed.

"I was in the middle of selling my home in Cleveland Heights when the city required a point of sale sewer inspection. Buckeye Drain came out quickly, did a thorough camera inspection, and found a major clog in the main line leading to the street. I was worried it would delay the closing, but their team explained everything clearly and had it hydro jetted and cleared within 24 hours. They even helped submit the documentation the city needed. I can’t thank them enough for their speed, professionalism, and honest service!"
