My son is buying a home. can an inspector detail if tree roots are cause or will create a sewer dash problem? it is a very colossal tree with huge roots that extend...

it is a very colossal tree with huge roots that extend to the house and apparent on top of the soil. he requirements the house but i am warning him of the potential problem. he will budge ahead with the mart unless an inspector shows him there is a problem. can an inspector explain to if there will be? i dont consider there have been a problem yet--but i muse there is a indisputable possibility in the adjectives. a friend had to own her sewer line replaced due to roots. but how can you notify beforehand if there is or will be a problem...any telltale signs to look for??
NO the inspector works for himself. Hire a plumper to run a snake and clear homeowners pay. I rented a house similar to that. Landlord had know clue but it be tree roots.


The inspector is just going to be able to identify slow drains which might indicate that within is a tree root problem, though there are other cause of slow drains.

If your son is really worried about it, he'll hold to hire a plumber, get authority from the home owners and have the plumber camera the drains. Even, after, it will only speak about that there is or isn't a problem very soon, not that there might be a problem surrounded by the future.
Answers:    The with the sole purpose you may could tell is to look and see if the sewer procession is clay pipe or PVC. Clay will break when the roots grow on it. PVC is less feasible to have problems.
