Sewer Scope & Video Sewer Line Inspection
Your sewer line is buried and hidden, but problems can cost thousands if left undetected. A professional sewer scope inspection gives you a clear, visual report on the condition of your sewer pipe before it becomes a crisis.
What Is a Sewer Scope Inspection?
A sewer scope uses a high-definition camera on a flexible rod to travel from your clean-out or vent stack through your sewer line to the main connection. We record detailed video and photos so you can see exactly what’s happening inside your pipes, no guessing - Clean imaging
Why This Matters to You
Whether you’re buying a home, selling, or maintaining your property, sewer issues are costly and hidden before they fail.
A sewer scope inspection can:
✅ Reveal blockages, cracks, or collapsed pipe sections
✅ Detect invasive roots or debris buildup
✅ Identify misalignment and low spots in the line
✅ Give you negotiation leverage when buying a home
✅ Prevent emergency sewer backups and expensive repairs
These problems often go undetected during a standard home inspection, which is why sewer scopes are recommended as an essential add-on.
Signs Your Sewer Line Needs Inspection
Look for:
🌧 Slow drains or frequent backups
🌿 Unusually lush patches in your lawn
🐀 Rodents entering through drains
🌳 Large trees near sewer lines
🚰 Gurgling sounds or lingering sewer odors
These symptoms often mean the sewer line is compromised. A video inspection gives you answers before it’s too late.
