3: INFORMATION AND MAINTENANCE

section-MGQ1ZGE2NDAtOWUxNC01M2RlLWI2OTgtM2RmYjM5MDc4MmIy

Information
Know your materials: PVC Materials
Sewer line underneath of home made of PVC, a medium-density product created to stay firm in place for all vertical
drain lines inside the home but allows for minor movement for underground piping as well. With a greater chemical
tolerance, PVC is less likely to have common issues that older materials have.

Know your materials: Clay Materials

Clay drain lines have been a industry standard for over 100 years. Clay is known for it's great chemical tolerance
especially to hydrogen sulphide, a common chemical found in waste pipes. Clay pipe is generally 2 foot sections that
are push together. Given the possibility of movement underground allowing root systems to enter at the joints it is
recommended to have the line cleaned every 1-3 years depending on volume of use.

Know your materials: Cast Iron Materials

Cast Iron pipes are primarily used for interior drain lines, but can also be used outside, due to the durability of the
material. Limiting excess waste and harsh chemicals from entering cast iron is strongly recommended to help reduce
erosion of the line.

Maintaining Your Sewer Line: Choosing a Cabling Contractor

When looking for a professional maintenance and cleanings solutions for your sewer line, keep the following tips in
mind:

Try to avoid big box/nationwide companies. Due to being combined with multiple products and services, they
may recommend unnecessary services beyond your needs.
Look for a contractor that is licensed, bonded, and insured so that you are protected in the event that damage
occurs.
Be sure that the contractor is certified and properly trained on his/her equipment. This tip will help ensure that
you receive a higher quality service.
Make sure that the contractor has a sewer camera so he/she can observe problem areas prior to cleaning and
then inspect the thoroughness of the work following cleaning.
General maintenance can cost around $150.

STANDARDS OF PRACTICE
Sewer Lateral Inspection Report
Purpose of this Sewer Scope Inspection
Pillar to Post Home Inspectors was retained to conduct a Sewer Scope inspection which consists of a video inspection of
the main sewer lateral, routed from underneath the home to the municipal main. The purpose of the Sewer Scope
inspection is to note the condition of the main sewer lateral, and to identify components in need of immediate repair. We
will inspect secondary lines, if applicable due to access, such as kitchen or secondary stacks. The recommendations in this
report are based upon our professional experience; opinions may vary from professional to professional. Our inspection
is designed to comply with accepted industrial standards whenever possible and will be performed in a non-destructive
manner. All locates should be verified by repair professionals.

This report is based on information obtained at the site at the given date and time of the Sewer Scope inspection. Should
additional information become available at a later date, we reserve the right to determine the impact, if any, the new
information may have on our discovery and recommendations and to revise our opinions and conclusions if necessary
and warranted. We can make no representations regarding conditions that may be present but concealed or inaccessible
during the Sewer Scope inspection.

Method and Breadth of Inspecting and Reporting

The Sewer Scope inspection is conducted in the following manner: A camera device is inserted into the main sewer line,
the inspection process is recorded, and a report is created to outline the findings. A proper access into the sewer line is
necessary (I.E Cleanout, Vent Trap, Basement Stack, Roof Vent) to perform this service. It may be necessary to remove a
toilet base to provide access on a later date with an additional cost.

This report will consist of the following items: (1) A copy of the video recording indicating visible issues, and (2) a written
report summarizing all findings. The evaluation will be based on visual observations and data collected from the
inspection camera equipment. This report is for the exclusive use of our client and is not intended for any other purpose.

NOTE: This inspection and report are not intended to be technically exhaustive. Your Sewer Scope inspector is not a civil
engineer, plumber, or drain layer. The purpose of performing the visual inspection is purely a preliminary screening to
determine whether any conditions exist that may require more extensive investigation by an expert or specialist in the
field. This report is generated totally objectively based upon the limitations of the devices and tools used by the Sewer
Scope inspector and based on the degree of access that was available at the time of the inspection. This inspection and
report will not be indicative of what could develop over time.

DISCLAIMER: The sewer lateral camera inspection report is an opinion based report provided by Pillar To Post and
offers no guarantee or warranty. The report is limited to the date and time of the inspection due to ever changing soil
conditions and conditions inside the sewer lateral lines. The video may be incomplete due to obstructions, buildups,
damage to the line and/ or lack of access to pipe which is beyond our control and does not constitute an incomplete
service. In the event that we are unable to view the entire lateral line, a re-inspection can be performed when access is
provided at an additional fee. No inspection is conducted on traps less than 6” in diameter (e.g. floor drains) or waste
lines 2” in diameter or less (e.g. secondary lateral lines). If location points are marked (e.g. due to failed pipe), Pillar
To Post advises having the contractor performing repairs validate markings as the points may be an estimate and not
an exact location.
