Good to know about sewer line repair
Under Title 5 (310 CMR 15.301), a septic system must be inspected at or within two years prior to the transfer of title (up to three years if pumping records show annual pumping), and inspections must be done by a currently approved System Inspector.
law.cornell.eduSewer pipe repair or replacement is plumbing work requiring a permit from the local Inspector under 248 CMR 3.05, issued only to properly licensed individuals; the Inspector may require rough and final inspections and a test.
law.cornell.eduFEMA recommends having a licensed plumber inspect and clean the sewer lateral from the home to the municipal system to remove debris and tree roots, and notes that many laterals in older homes are clay or cast iron that can be replaced with modern materials resistant to root intrusion, corrosion and fractures.
