A Second Opinion for a Big Decision
When someone tells you that you need thousands of dollars in sewer work, it is reasonable to want to understand the evidence before saying yes. This tool evaluates what you know and helps you determine what questions to ask — before you authorize the work.
When to Use This Tool
How It Works
Describe Your Situation

Share the Evidence
Answer questions about your property, symptoms, camera inspection findings, and what has been recommended.
Get Your Decision Support
Receive an evidence-based assessment of whether the evidence supports the recommended work, along with questions to ask.
Make an Informed Decision
Use the tailored checklist and options to have a more informed conversation with your plumber before authorizing work.
What This Tool Is — and Is Not
This is a decision-support tool. It helps you understand whether the evidence supports the work being recommended and what questions to ask. It does not diagnose your sewer, does not replace a professional inspection, and does not recommend contractors.
