Is This Sewer Line Alright to Wholesale?

[Burt L.]

I had the sewer scoped by a local company that only does scopes and not repairs. I watched the video as it was being done and have CD copy of it as well.

This is for a three-plex and the main-line from the main house to the street is fine. In question is a second line which runs under a former three-car garage that was converted to the third unit. This line, which is also white plastic PVC pipe and was installed in 1997 at the time of the garage conversion- has a thee inch "dip" in the line, and this dip runs for about ten feet. It allows water to stand there, but doesn't collect any solids. The next time water flows, it displaces this water and is clear afterwards. There is no evidence of dirt or debris standing in the line.

This property is located in Denver, Colorado, and this unit is on a slab foundation. The dip in the line is under the living area, beneath the slab. The man who did the scope said its likely been this way since 1997 when it was installed, and that as long as the dip in the line is under the heated unit and the heat is on in the winter, its unlikely to be a problem.

Still, he had to write on the report "Recommend Spot Repair of Dip Section at some point". I did not object to this and the inspection period has ended. My buyer will see the video and report on Monday, and I have verbally mentioned there is a dip in the line.

Is this something the buyer can/should object to? Is the 3" dip in the plastic sewer line an issue at this point, after working since 1997? I don't want to get "squeezed" and have to pay for someone elses' sewer line.
