Edmonds Real Estate Nightmare
Well it was the night before inspection and all through this house very much was stirring and lurking about. This is a good reason why every home owner should have a thorough home inspection. This is a true story and just happens to be a property in Edmonds. A Young couple purchased a home in Talbot Park located in Edmonds Wa. They thought they had done a thorough inspection of the property inside and out, seller had advised them that there was new plumbing, sewer, and electrical. After one month of living there they noticed water and sewage backing up in their downstairs bathroom. This lead to a more thorough investigation of he sewer line to the house which they found it was not properly connected to the sewer line that leads to the street connection not good. The contractors bid was from 10,000 -$50,000 moral to this story is if your purchasing a older home you can and should have the sewer line checked out it doesn’t cost much $85.00 to $300.00. Its done by running a camera down through the sewer line form inside the house all the way to the street. You can find out if your sewer line has cracks in it or in this case is not connected!!
