The disaster that almost happened

The buyers really loved the house but as always, I recommended a whole slew of inspections. The listing agent said that the plumbing lines had been redone but I insisted on a sewer line inspection for my buyers.  After all the driveway was 450 feet long and so was the sewer line! We only saw two cleanouts but with a line that long, there needed to be 5 cleanouts.
So the plumber came with his camera and tried to do the inspection to find that the line was clogged. Watch the video here:
