Pre-Listing Drain Tune-Up, explained.
Buyers and their inspectors run water, flush toilets and look under sinks. A slow drain or a sour smell during a showing can cost you goodwill and a round of negotiation.
A pre-listing tune-up cleans the drains, checks the traps and floor drains and gives you a dated service record to put in the file. It is a small step that makes the house feel cared for.

Will this replace a sewer scope?
No. A camera check-up can be added, and buyers may still order their own inspections.
Should I share the record?
Many sellers include it in the listing file. Ask your agent.
How soon before listing should I do it?
A week or two before photos and showings is a good rhythm.
