Key takeaways
- Once you own the house, the sewer pipes on the lot are yours to maintain, repair and replace, up to where they connect to the utility's system.
- A building inspection looks at what can be seen. A drain camera shows roots, cracks, sags, collapses and wrong connections underground.
- Sewer service diagrams can't be bought in the Newcastle region, so camera footage and a locator trace are often the only picture of the drains you will get.
- Book it early enough to act on the results: ask for a repair, negotiate, or budget for the fix before you commit.
