PSA: Chat with an old home inspector at the hardware store

Ran into a guy who's been inspecting homes in Edmonton for 30 years. He told me most buyers skip the sewer scope. Said he's seen 15 grand in repairs on houses that looked perfect. Hit me hard because I was about to recommend waiving that on a 1970s bungalow. Now I'm telling every client to budget $300 for a scope. Has anyone else dodged a bullet by adding this to your prep checklist?

Respectfully disagree, lots of older houses do fine with just a visual inspection.
