Sewer Line Inspections for Realtors & Home Buyers
Your clients’ trust is everything—and protecting it matters.
At General Rooter LLC, we partner with Realtors to provide professional sewer line video inspections that help buyers make informed decisions and sellers avoid last-minute surprises.
We know how important it is to recommend vendors who are reliable, experienced, and easy to work with. That’s why Realtors across Minnesota trust General Rooter as their go-to sewer inspection partner.
A Trusted Partner for Real Estate Transactions
General Rooter is a locally owned, veteran- and family-operated sewer and drain company with more than 39 years of experience. We routinely work with Realtors, home inspectors, buyers, and sellers to inspect sewer lines for both residential and commercial properties.
Like you, we are a small business built on reputation. Our goal is simple:
To help you look good to your clients by delivering clear answers, professional service, and dependable results.
Partnership Built on Integrity & Education
Buying a home is one of the largest investments your clients will ever make. Our role is to support that process by providing clear, accurate sewer inspection findings and taking the time to explain their meaning.
During inspections, we:
- Clearly explain findings to both you and your client
- Answer questions on-site whenever possible
- Educate buyers about the home’s sewer and drain system
First-time homebuyers especially appreciate the added education and transparency, which help build confidence and trust throughout the transaction.
Detailed Reports & Recorded Inspection Videos
When details matter, we deliver more than a quick checklist.
With every sewer camera inspection, you can expect:
- An on-site verbal summary of findings
- A typed written report (same day or next business day)
- A recorded video link of the sewer inspection
Reports and videos are easy to share with buyers, sellers, inspectors, and city officials—making negotiations and compliance much smoother.
Inflow & Infiltration (I&I) Inspections for Home Sales
Many cities now require Inflow & Infiltration (I&I) sewer inspections before a property can be sold. These inspections identify groundwater entering the sanitary sewer system, which can overload city treatment facilities.
General Rooter is authorized to perform I&I inspections and works closely with city programs, including:
- City of Golden Valley inflow and infiltration inspection
- West St. Paul inflow and infiltration inspection
- City of Orono inflow and infiltration inspection
- City of Mounds View H2OPP Program
If issues such as cracks or root intrusion are found, cities may require repair or lining. We help identify these issues early so transactions stay on track.
Professional Equipment & Presentation
We use modern fiber-optic sewer camera inspection equipment to ensure accurate results. Our service vehicles are clearly marked, and our inspectors arrive in uniform—representing both our company and your referral professionally. We utilize professional home inspection software, InspectorData, for our sewer scopes (video camera inspections). View our profile on InspectorData.
