My father-in-law told me to skip the sewer scope inspection to save $300.
We bought the house in Tacoma last fall, and now we're facing a $12,000 repair for a collapsed line under the driveway. He said the house was new enough that it wouldn't be an issue, but he was very wrong. Has anyone else had a family member give them bad inspection advice that cost them big later?

Man, that's brutal. My uncle talked me out of a foundation inspection once (said the cracks were "just settling"). Fast forward two years and we had to install helical piers, which was not cheap. Now I get every single inspection, even the optional ones. That small fee is basically insurance against a nightmare like yours.

Ever wonder if @parker_campbell's uncle would still pay for that inspection now?
