What a Sewer Inspection Covers

Haller’s licensed plumbers evaluate sewer line condition across the sections and connection points that determine whether your system is functioning correctly and how much useful life remains.

A sewer inspection is a diagnostic service. Its purpose is to give you an accurate picture of what is inside your line so that any decisions about cleaning, repair, or replacement are based on real information.

We assess the condition of the main sewer line from the home to the municipal connection, identifying blockages, buildup, root intrusion, and structural issues that affect how the line is performing and how long it will continue to do so.

Sewer line joints and connections are the points most vulnerable to root intrusion and separation over time. We evaluate joint condition throughout the accessible line to identify locations where the pipe is open to infiltration or beginning to separate.

Root growth inside sewer lines is one of the most common and most underdiagnosed causes of recurring drain problems in Central and Eastern Pennsylvania. We identify root intrusion, assess its extent, and explain what clearing or repair options are appropriate based on what the line shows.

Older homes across Allentown, Bethlehem, Lancaster, York, and Harrisburg contain a range of sewer pipe materials including cast iron, clay, and early plastic systems, each with its own deterioration profile. We assess the material and condition of your line and communicate what that means for its remaining useful life.

A sewer inspection before purchasing a home identifies conditions in the sewer line that are not visible during a standard home inspection. Understanding the sewer line condition before closing avoids unexpected repair costs after the transaction is complete.

After sewer line repair or cleaning work, an inspection confirms the line is clear, properly sealed, and performing correctly before the system returns to normal use.

Why Central and Eastern Pennsylvania Homeowners Trust Haller for Sewer Inspections

A sewer inspection is only as useful as the accuracy and honesty of the findings. You need a team that tells you what is actually there, not what leads to the most expensive next step.

Haller has earned the trust of homeowners across Central and Eastern Pennsylvania through four decades of straightforward plumbing service and honest recommendations.

Every sewer inspection is performed by Haller’s licensed plumbers. Our team explains what we find in plain language and gives you an accurate assessment of what the line needs, whether that is cleaning, repair, or nothing at this time.

Haller is a BBB Accredited Business. That recognition reflects a consistent record of honest service and customer satisfaction built across Central and Eastern Pennsylvania since 1981.

Haller has been serving Central and Eastern Pennsylvania since 1981. Our plumbers have inspected and serviced sewer lines in homes across the Lehigh Valley, Lancaster County, York, and Harrisburg and understand the pipe materials, infrastructure ages, and soil conditions common throughout our service area.

We report what the inspection shows. If the line is in good condition, we tell you that. If it needs cleaning or repair, we explain what and why. Haller does not use inspections as an entry point for unnecessary work.

A sewer inspection is most useful when the team that conducts it can also perform whatever the findings call for. Haller’s licensed plumbers handle cleaning, hydrojetting, and repair so you are not starting over with a different contractor after the inspection.

Haller is not a one-time service call. Homeowners across Central and Eastern Pennsylvania rely on us year after year because an ongoing relationship with a team that knows your home’s sewer line history produces better outcomes than a fresh assessment with no context each time.

Shane serviced my water heater system. He was professional and prompt.
Very professional, pleasant, and efficient. I hope he is sent on my next service.
The technician, Adam, was excellent. He explained what the problems were, and showed me the problems on my outdoor fan. He was very patient and polite. I am hard of hearing, so he spoke louder. He fixed everything, and thought of solutions that had not been mentioned to me before – like using a 2" filter instead of a 1" filter to possibly cut down on filter changes (since I cannot change them myself). He also explained how the $24/month plan worked, and set me up for that when I decided to go with it. He answered all my questions. Adam is an excellent Haller employee.
Jeff was very professional and did a great job!
Kirtis showed up on time and was totally prepared with his single tool pack. Went up to the unit in the attic (not an easy access) and determined there was a short in the system. Down and outside to the other unit where he located the deficient part. Had a replacement part in his truck and installed it and AC was humming. Fast efficient and friendly. I will call them again.
Thank you Jason, I appreciate your time and taking care of this.

What a Sewer Inspection Gives You

A sewer inspection does not fix anything. It gives you the information you need to make the right decision about what comes next.

For some homeowners that means peace of mind that the line is clear. For others it means understanding a developing condition before it becomes urgent. Either outcome has value.

Whether you are addressing a recurring drain problem, preparing to sell a home, or buying one, a sewer inspection gives you an accurate picture of what is inside the line. Decisions made with that information are better than decisions made without it. 

Root intrusion, joint separation, and pipe deterioration all begin as minor conditions that become major problems if they go unaddressed. An inspection identifies these early, when the range of options is wider and the cost of action is lower.

A sewer inspection before purchasing a home in Central and Eastern Pennsylvania identifies conditions that a standard home inspection does not cover. Knowing the sewer line condition before closing gives buyers accurate information and negotiating context.

The findings from a sewer inspection give you a documented baseline for your sewer line condition. That record is useful context for future service calls and for tracking how the line changes over time.

A clean inspection result means the line is performing correctly and does not need intervention. That information has real value for homeowners who have had recurring drain issues and want to know whether the sewer line is the source.


Other Plumbing Services You May Need

A sewer inspection identifies what your line needs. Haller provides the services to address it.

Haller’s licensed plumbers handle the full range of sewer and plumbing services Central and Eastern Pennsylvania homeowners need, from cleaning and hydrojetting to repair and whole-home inspections.

When a sewer inspection identifies buildup or a blockage that cleaning can address, Haller’s licensed plumbers clear the line using the method appropriate for the type and location of the obstruction.

When buildup inside a sewer line is heavy enough that standard clearing cannot fully restore capacity, hydrojetting scours the pipe interior using high-pressure water. Haller determines when hydrojetting is the right follow-up to inspection findings.

When an inspection reveals structural damage, root intrusion beyond clearing, or pipe failure, Haller provides sewer line repair and replacement. We explain the findings and the available options before any repair work begins.

A sewer inspection covers the main sewer line. A whole-home plumbing inspection covers supply lines, drain lines, shutoff valves, and connections throughout the home. Haller provides both services for homeowners who want a complete picture of their plumbing system.

When inspection findings or other conditions require repair work on fixtures, pipes, or connections, Haller’s licensed plumbers diagnose and resolve the issue correctly across Central and Eastern Pennsylvania.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sewer Inspections

When should I schedule a sewer inspection?

Common reasons to schedule a sewer inspection include recurring drain backups or slow drainage throughout the home, before purchasing a home, after significant root clearing work, if your home has older clay or cast iron sewer pipe, or if you have not had the line assessed in many years. Haller’s licensed plumbers can help you determine whether an inspection makes sense for your situation.

What can a sewer inspection find?

A sewer inspection can identify root intrusion at joints, buildup and blockages inside the line, pipe deterioration or corrosion, joint separation or offset, bellied sections where the pipe has settled, and other structural conditions that affect how the line is performing.

How long does a sewer inspection take?

Most sewer inspections take one to two hours depending on the length of the line, access conditions, and what the inspection finds. Haller’s licensed plumbers take the time needed to assess the line thoroughly and walk you through their findings before leaving.

Does a sewer inspection require digging?

In most cases, no. Sewer inspections are typically conducted through existing cleanout access points. If a cleanout is not present or accessible, Haller’s licensed plumbers will discuss what access options are available for your specific situation.

What happens after the inspection?

After the inspection, Haller’s licensed plumbers explain what they found and what, if anything, the line needs. If the line is in good condition, no further action is required. If cleaning, repair, or further evaluation is recommended, we explain what that involves and why before any work begins.
