We almost skipped the sewer scope inspection to save $350
Our agent in Phoenix pushed hard for it, and the camera found a cracked line under the driveway that would have cost us over $8k to fix. The seller had to cover the full repair before we closed. Has anyone else had a big find on a home inspection they almost passed on?

Man, that's a huge save. Makes my own cheapness look bad. I almost skipped the foundation inspection on my place because the house looked solid. The guy found a corner sinking an inch and a half, which explained the weird door frame. Cost me a few grand to fix, but it would have been a nightmare later. Always feels dumb to pay for it until it pays for itself ten times over.

Glad you caught that sinking corner. Did the inspector give you a clear reason why it happened? Like bad soil or poor drainage? Always wonder if those fixes are permanent or just a band aid.
