Trouble in the Sewer Line

[James Dolan]

Hi All,

I have a property under contract in Pittsburgh that has a blockage 85 feet down the sewer line so the plumbers are unable to confirm whether the line is free of damage beyond that point. They quoted me to clear the blockage ($2500) so they could inspect the line further. If there is damage to the line beyond that point, the solution would be to repair the damage and re-line the pipe with a liquid PVC liner (which could be costly). 

I'm looking to purchase the property as a quick carpet/paint flip. I've been told that prospective buyers will be unable to get bank financing if the sewer line is damaged. 

Has anyone had experience with this type of situation?
