Seeking Advice: Plumbing Issues Found During Escrow - Need Insights

[Luca Giani]

Hello everyone,

We're currently in escrow for a property and recently received the inspection report, which highlighted some concerning findings regarding the plumbing. Specifically, the report mentioned: "The pipe appears to be restricted due to organic build up. Flow is restricted. Areas of the pipe are not visible. Recommend cleaning and re-inspection by a plumber. Openings or inconsistencies noted in sewer line. The condition of these are more significant than normal. We recommend further evaluation by a qualified licensed plumber."

Given that we're in the midst of the escrow process and considering the possibility of needed repairs, I'm hoping to gather some insights from those who might have faced similar situations. Our decision to move forward will depend, to some extent, on the cost of potential repairs.

If anyone has encountered comparable issues during escrow or has navigated negotiations considering plumbing repairs, I'd greatly appreciate any advice or experiences you can share. Understanding how these findings might impact negotiations or what steps you would recommend taking would be incredibly helpful for us in making an informed decision.

Thank you all for your time and input!
