A home inspection is not just about negotiating repairs or asking for credits. The true value of an inspection is helping buyers make informed decisions, better understand the home they are purchasing, and prepare for future repairs and upgrades. A quality inspection gives homeowners a clearer picture of how the property functions, what systems may require attention over time, and how to prioritize future investments in their new home.

Tiger Home & Building Inspections is proud to expand our services with professional sewer scope inspections, available throughout Connecticut.
A sewer scope inspection is one of the most valuable—and often overlooked—components of a thorough home inspection. Using a specialized camera system, we inspect the interior of the underground sewer line to identify issues such as root intrusion, blockages, broken pipes, aging materials, or improper connections. These are problems that can’t be seen during a standard home inspection, yet they can lead to costly and disruptive repairs if left undetected.

✅ Conduct drone inspections for roofs that are steep, fragile, or otherwise difficult to access
✅ Inspect attic spaces for signs of leaks, improper ventilation, or structural issues

✅ What’s Included in a Tiger Septic Inspection?
Our inspections give you a complete, modern view of the system’s health.
As home inspectors, we frequently encounter cooling systems that are outdated, poorly functioning, or lacking regular maintenance. Many homeowners wait for the first warm days of summer to turn on their AC systems, only to find issues like dirty filters and clogged condensate drains. The lack of maintenance no longer surprises me; recently, we were called to diagnose a ceiling stain. The condensate pan was overflowing because the client had removed the safety switch that tripped due to a clogged drain. Seemingly small maintenance tasks like this can cause water damage, reduce airflow, and even cause icing that impacts performance. My advice is to be proactive – schedule your annual service before the season heats up.
