Sewer Line Help Please

[Phil Leighton]

So I was about to close and the buyer backed out last minute as there were roots discovered in the sewer line which I understand is a common problem.  The sewer pipe works fine, haven't had any issues.  I was quoted 7k to get it lined and 16k to get it replaced.   At this point I'd rather just take it off the list price but I'm hesitant to take 7k off as the pipe is in working order.  

Does anyone have any experience with something like this?   Advice/thoughts/suggestions?  Thanks.

We had a similar issue in Arizona. The pipe was in good shape and the roots discovered, both in the tank and line, were very small....like hair. Super common. Our buyers were not deterred by it and did not ask for repair. Like others have mentioned, you certainly need more information before taking it off the listing price.

A scope for us was around $200. 

I hope everything works out for you- I HATE SEPTIC ISSUES.
