Sewer Scope Inspection
A sewer scope inspection uses a specialized camera to look inside the home’s main sewer line. The camera is inserted through an accessible sewer cleanout and travels through the pipe, allowing us to visually inspect the interior of the line without having to dig up the yard or remove sections of the plumbing.
During the inspection, we look for conditions such as cracks, breaks, root intrusion, damaged or separated pipe joints, blockages, buildup, and other visible concerns that could affect the sewer line. We document what we see and provide clear information about the condition of the accessible portion of the sewer line.
A sewer line is an important part of a home’s plumbing system, but much of it is underground and cannot be evaluated during a standard visual inspection. A sewer scope allows us to take a closer look at this hidden portion of the system and identify potential concerns that may otherwise go unnoticed.
How a Sewer Scope Works
01
Camera Insertion
We insert a high-resolution waterproof camera into the main sewer line to begin a thorough visual inspection.
02
Video Recording or Pictures
Our equipment records real-time high-definition footage of the pipe interior to document the exact condition of the line.
03
Reviewing Findings
We review the findings with you, identifying potential issues and providing clear recommendations for your next steps.
Degradation of older cast iron or metal pipes, resulting in rough surfaces and leaking.
Corrosion
Blockages
Accumulated grease, debris, or foreign objects that restrict waste flow.
Offsets
Disconnected pipe joints that allow waste to escape and roots to enter.
Bellies/Sags
Low spots where standing water and debris collect, often leading to recurring backups.
Cracks
Fractures in the pipe wall that lead to leaks and eventual soil erosion or collapse.
Root Intrusion
Tree roots finding their way into pipe joints, causing blockages and structural stress.
