Sewer Lateral
My wife and I are going to sell our house soon and will need some inspections-one of which is the sewer lateral. Part of this inspection is a pressure test which, if it fails, means that the entire sewer must be replaced at a large expense. We would be grateful for recommendations of companies which are reliable for this type of work and would charge a reasonable sum. Many thanks.

It is common to defer the sewer lateral certification process to the new buyer in which case you don't need to do much other than apply for the deferral with the city. You can find more information on the process here: https://www.meganmicco.com/private-sewer-lateral/. Also, an experienced real estate agent should be advising you on the steps required to prepare your house for sale, including recommending experienced inspectors. I encourage you to reach out to if you can use assistance.
I used Bill's underground for sewer lateral repair in 2023 and it was about 5-6K.
