🚿 Home Inspection Hack
Why Sewer Jetting Before Selling Boosts Value
Getting ready to sell your home? You’ve probably focused on staging the
interior and touching up the landscaping—but have you thought about your
plumbing? One of the most overlooked ways to increase home value and pass
inspections smoothly is sewer jetting. With one professional cleaning, you can
avoid last-minute surprises and make your home more appealing to buyers.
The Plumbing Surprise That Kills Deals
Buyers today are savvy. Many will request a home inspection that includes a sewer line check. If
that inspection uncovers slow drains, backups, or tree root intrusion, it could
derail your sale. Sewer jetting gives you the power to prevent those issues before
they appear in a report.

What Is Sewer Jetting?
What Is Sewer Jetting?
Sewer jetting (or hydro jetting) is the process of cleaning sewer lines with high-pressure water. A flexible hose with a nozzle is inserted into your cleanout. Pressurized water blasts through
your sewer line, clearing grease, soap buildup, debris, and roots.
Inspection Prep: Avoid Last-Minute Problems
The worst time to discover a clogged pipe is during a home inspection. If a potential buyer
runs water through the house and finds backups, it signals a red flag. Even
worse, an inspector with a sewer scope may detect debris, damage, or root
invasion.
Hydro jetting before the inspection ensures:
· Your pipes are visibly clean for the scope
camera
· Drainage is quick and silent
· No odors are present during walk-throughs
What Buyers Look For in Drainage ·
Toilets flushing quickly
· No gurgling sounds
· Drains that clear rapidly
· No sewage smell
· No evidence of leaks in basements or crawlspaces
When to Schedule Sewer Jetting Before Selling Ideally, sewer jetting should be scheduled 2–3 weeks before listing the home. This gives you time to clean, inspect, and fix anything if needed. If your home has trees nearby, or hasn’t had its sewer cleaned in over a year, jetting is a must.
Real Estate Value Booster
Homes with recent sewer maintenance attract better offers. Many sellers even include proof of sewer
jetting with their listing. It’s a small investment that could help you close faster and for a higher price.
Cost vs Return
The average cost of sewer jetting is significantly less than repairing damaged sewer lines—or losing a buyer due to plumbing issues. A clean bill of health from your plumber adds real confidence
to your sale.
Final Thoughts
Before you put that 'For Sale' sign in the
yard, consider your plumbing. Sewer jetting helps prevent inspection surprises,
improves your home’s presentation, and shows buyers that you’ve taken great
care of the property. Don’t just clean your windows—clean your drains, too. It
could be the hidden edge that helps you sell faster.
