Purchasing a Home On Cape Cod 

You wouldn’t let the seller of the home do the home inspection for you , would you?  That’s what you are doing when you accept the home owners Title 5 Certificate.

As you can see from the other links on my page, www.butkus.org I have done many repairs myself.  In 1991 I added an addition(s) to square off the house.  While the “professionals” were there digging the foundation to the houses they they cut into the Orangeberg sewer pipe.  After a lot of complaining and waiting for more “professionals” to show up to fix it, I replaced that section of the sewer.  That pipe was the same type of cheap “plastic layer” pipe that went to a metal pipe some 30 feet away.  Little did I know I would pat myself on the back when I replaced (rather then fixed the hole they made) the pipe with typical 4″ plastic pipe to the outside of the foundation.  Plus the fact that they poured concrete over this 10′X15′ section of the addition.  So any plugs or falling plastic from the inside (which you will see) could have blocked that pipe for good.  I would have needed to go straight out the side of the house where this digging was done and, well that would have been a mess.   This is where this story leads to. None of that pipe I replaced in ‘91 looked like the photos of the interior of the pipe below.
