Below you will find example images of sewer cleanout locations. While some are obvious, some are not.

If you are a home buyer wanting a sewer line inspection, we recommend that you ask the seller in advance for the sewer cleanout location, and if applicable, request that they remove any mulch, possessions or other obstructions that could block the view/access of the sewer cleanout.
