Do I Need a Dye Test to Sell My Home in Bethel Park?
Yes.
If you're selling or transferring a property in the Municipality of Bethel Park, a dye test and sewer lateral camera inspection are generally required before the deed can be transferred unless the property has already had the required inspections completed and certified within the previous two years.
Bethel Park recommends completing the inspections at least 21 days before closing.
Don't wait until the week of settlement.
If the inspection discovers a problem, repairs may need to be completed and approved before the property transfer can move forward.
Revelation Plumbing can help make the process straightforward from the initial inspection through any necessary sewer repairs.
What Is a Dye Test?
A plumbing dye test helps determine whether rainwater or groundwater is improperly entering the sanitary sewer system.
During the inspection, a licensed plumber evaluates drainage connections around the property and uses testing procedures to determine whether items such as:
-
Downspouts
-
Yard drains
-
Driveway drains
-
Sump pumps
-
Exterior drainage
-
Other stormwater connections
are improperly connected to the sanitary sewer.
Bethel Park performs these requirements to help reduce inflow and infiltration, which occurs when rainwater or groundwater enters a sanitary sewer system that is intended to carry wastewater.
A failed dye test doesn't necessarily mean you have a major sewer problem. It means the source of the improper connection must be identified and corrected before certification can be issued.
Bethel Park Also Requires a Sewer Camera Inspection
A dye test is only part of the requirement.
Bethel Park also requires a camera inspection of the property's sewer lateral.
During a sewer camera inspection, specialized equipment is inserted into the sewer line so the inside of the pipe can be evaluated.
The inspection can identify problems such as:
-
Cracked sewer pipe
-
Broken or separated sections of pipe
-
Tree root intrusion
-
Blockages
-
Pipe deterioration
-
Corrosion
-
Offset joints
-
Bellies or low areas in the sewer
-
Other defects within the sewer lateral
Bethel Park requires the sewer lateral camera inspection to be performed by a NASSCO-certified plumbing professional.
Revelation Plumbing is NASSCO certified and has the equipment and experience necessary to properly inspect and document sewer laterals throughout the Pittsburgh area.

Don't Let a Dye Test Delay Your Bethel Park Closing
One of the biggest mistakes sellers can make is waiting until the last minute to schedule the required inspections.
Bethel Park recommends having the dye test and lateral inspection completed 21 days before the property closing or deed transfer.
Why so early?
Because if a violation or sewer defect is discovered, there needs to be enough time to:
-
Identify the problem
-
Determine the proper repair
-
Complete the work
-
Complete any required reinspection
-
Obtain approval before closing
Scheduling early gives you time to deal with unexpected problems without creating unnecessary stress immediately before settlement.
Buying a Home in Bethel Park?
A professional sewer camera inspection isn't only important for sellers.
If you're considering purchasing a home in Bethel Park, understanding the condition of the sewer lateral can be extremely valuable.
A home's sewer line is mostly underground and impossible to evaluate during a normal visual home inspection.
A house can look beautiful above ground while an older sewer line underneath the property has roots, cracks, deterioration, or other problems.
Our camera equipment allows you to actually see what's happening inside the sewer before a problem becomes a surprise.
