Westchester County Sewer Camera & Compliance Inspections

Certain municipalities in Westchester County require a sewer camera inspection and sanitary sewer discharge compliance certification before a property can be sold. These inspections are designed to identify defects, blockages, or improper connections in the main waste line that could lead to costly repairs or environmental issues.

Hudson Valley Drainworks provides professional sewer camera inspections throughout Westchester County, including recorded video and documentation when required. We understand the municipal requirements involved in real estate transactions and work closely with homeowners, buyers, and sellers to ensure inspections are completed accurately and efficiently.

Sewer issues are often hidden underground and are not included in standard home inspections. A sewer camera inspection allows potential problems to be identified before closing, helping avoid unexpected expenses and delays.

Our inspections can identify:

• Cracked or collapsed sewer lines 
• Root intrusion 
• Grease or debris buildup 
• Improper connections 
• Pipe misalignment or deterioration
   

If issues are discovered, we can locate the exact position and depth of the problem to help guide repairs or negotiations.

The following municipalities currently require, or may require, a sewer camera inspection and compliance certification prior to the sale of a home. Requirements can change, so working with an experienced local provider is essential.

The Village of Scarsdale requires a sewer lateral inspection as part of its Sewer Lateral Inspection Program. Homeowners selling property must provide documentation confirming that the sanitary sewer line meets village standards. A recorded sewer camera inspection is required for review by the municipality.

The City of Rye requires sewer lateral inspections to verify the condition of the waste line prior to property transfer. This inspection helps ensure sewer infrastructure integrity and environmental compliance. Proper documentation and recorded video are typically required as part of the process.

Properties located within the Village of Mamaroneck are subject to sanitary sewer discharge compliance requirements before sale. Sewer camera inspections are used to confirm that the waste line is free of defects that could cause failure or contamination.

Sewer compliance inspections may be required for properties located within areas of Larchmont that fall under the Village of Mamaroneck’s jurisdiction. Determining whether certification applies depends on the specific location of the property.
