Hangin With My Friend from Zoom Drain

In today’s video, I’m having a conversation with my friend Jill from Zoom Drain. This topic is something that many people don’t think about: what is happening with the drains in your home? This is an issue that is applicable to homeowners and home buyers, which is why real estate agents need to know about it as well.

Ideally, being preemptive about these maintenance tasks can save you a lot of problems in the future. Of course, there are options to clear a drain after it is clogged, but it’s much easier to prevent these issues from happening in the first place.

At Zoom Drain, they specialize in sewer and drain services specifically. One of the options that you might consider is having your lines inspected when you are buying or selling a home, just for peace of mind to know that everything is ok. This inspection is a pretty straightforward thing. None of us have X-ray vision, so we need a way to look into the pipes and see what is happening.

Buying or selling a home is a big purchase, which is why it makes sense to choose these types of services. We can tell you if your pipes are looking good or not.

Why Pipe Inspections are a Good Idea

One horror story to help you understand why this is important: when my husband and I bought our first home, we later found out that someone flushed carpet down the toilet. We had no idea because we didn’t have the lines checked when we bought the home. Unfortunately, everything clogged up and the insurance company didn’t cover it because routine maintenance is part of the homeowner’s responsibility.

As a result, the previous owners caused a huge issue that ruined our new floors. Having a camera inspection could have helped us avoid a big problem.

Catch Issues in the Earliest Stages

Keep in mind that an inspection helps you catch something before it turns into a serious problem. At this point, it’s usually relatively easy and inexpensive to fix. Not only can you repair the pipes, but you can avoid the disgusting issue of having sewage in your home.

As an agent, you can set yourself apart in the industry by helping your clients with these types of services. Tell buyers and sellers why it makes sense to get out in front of the issue right now.
