Sewer Dye Testing for Point-of-Sale Inspections
Selling a home in Eastlake or another Lake County community? If your municipality requires a point-of-sale sewer dye test, Domenick’s Sewer and Drains over 50 years of experience can help make the process simple and stress-free.
We provide sewer dye testing for homeowners, buyers, sellers, Realtors, and title companies throughout Eastlake, Willoughby, Wickliffe, Willowick, Euclid, Richmond Heights, and surrounding communities. From scheduling the inspection to coordinating with the municipality, we help keep your closing on schedule.
What Is a Sewer Dye Test?
A sewer dye test verifies that your home’s sanitary sewer and storm drainage systems are properly separated. During the test, a non-toxic dye is introduced into the plumbing system and traced to confirm wastewater is flowing to the sanitary sewer rather than into storm drains or other prohibited connections.
Many Lake County municipalities require a passing sewer dye test before a property transfer can be completed.
Do You Need a Dye Test?
Point-of-sale requirements vary by municipality, and not every city follows the same process.
Communities such as Eastlake, Willoughby, Wickliffe, Willowick, Euclid, and Richmond Heights may require sewer dye testing or related inspections before a home sale can close.
If you’re unsure whether your property requires a sewer dye test, give us a call. We’ll help you determine your municipality’s current requirements before you schedule an inspection.
What Happens If a Property Fails?
A failed sewer dye test usually means there’s an improper connection between the sanitary sewer and storm drainage system. While this must be corrected before the property can pass inspection, it’s a common issue, especially in older homes.
If repairs are needed, we’ll:
- Identify the source of the problem
- Explain what needs to be corrected
- Provide a straightforward estimate
- Complete the repair efficiently
- Schedule the re-inspection so your closing can continue moving forward
Our goal is to resolve the issue as quickly as possible while minimizing delays in your real estate transaction.
