What kind of drain pipes should I expect in Menifee?
Menifee is one of California’s newest cities — 2000s–2020s subdivisions around the 1960s Sun City retirement core — so the typical answer is PVC drains and laterals. That pipe generation is largely trouble-free; when clogs recur, look at usage and slope before suspecting the pipe itself.
Is a sewer scope worth it when buying a home?
Almost always — sewer laterals are the buyer's responsibility, general home inspections don't cover them, and replacement can cost $5,000–$25,000. For pre-1990 homes a $150–$600 scope during the inspection contingency is standard advice.
