Sewer line inspection - Would you get one?

[Account Closed]

Would you get a sewer/sewage line inspection?  Does the age of the home make a difference on whether you get it or not?  

I'm purchasing a turnkey and thinking of getting someone to scope the plumbing on a 1980s and 1960s home.

On older homes, I absolutely think scoping the sewer line is a good idea. Be a little wary though, some of them will always think you need to replace it. We found a plumber that specializes in scoping lines and doesn't replace them, so I feel like we get honest feedback from him and that's the best way to go if possible. But we've bought plenty of houses with shot sewer lines and it can be a budget buster (and make for angry tenants).
