Should I get a sewer scope on an older Coon Rapids home?

On many older Coon Rapids homes, yes, it's one of the smartest add-ons you can buy. Homes built from the 1950s through the 1970s often have clay or cast-iron sewer laterals, the underground pipe running from the house to the city main. Clay pipe joints are notorious for letting tree roots in, and Coon Rapids has plenty of mature boulevard trees and established yards with big silver maples and elms whose roots find those joints. A sewer scope runs a camera down the line to look for root intrusion, cracks, bellies (low spots that collect waste), and offsets. This matters because a standard home inspection does not include the buried sewer line, and a full lateral replacement can be one of the most expensive surprises a homeowner faces, easily running into the thousands once you factor in excavation. Catching it before closing gives you real negotiating leverage. If the home has large trees, original plumbing, or any history of slow drains or backups, a scope is well worth it.
