Properties in the more established parts of town often feature mature landscaping and original clay tile sewer lines. We highly recommend a sewer scope for these homes to check for root intrusions or pipe collapses that can lead to costly backups, as well as an infrared scan to identify hidden moisture in aged plaster or masonry.
