This sewer lateral inspection checklist helps verify key elements of a private sewer connection before approval or maintenance. Inspectors can confirm cleanout accessibility, identify connection points and tap locations, and document whether a drop-in is installed at the manhole. It also covers property line cleanouts, pipe type approvals, multiple structures served, and the presence of a working backflow prevention device. The checklist flags illegal connections such as sump pumps, roof gutters, foundation drains, and heat pumps, and prompts inclusion of a site drawing showing buildings, roads, water lines, and the proposed lateral path. Use the corrective actions and comments sections to capture issues and resolutions, and record inspector details and timestamps.
