Why A Sewer Scope Inspection Matters
The sewer lateral is out of sight and is not normally evaluated during a standard home inspection. A sewer camera lets us look inside the accessible line for visible roots, cracking, offsets, deterioration, standing water, or obstructions that could lead to backups or costly repairs.
What We Inspect
-
Available cleanout or other suitable access point
-
Accessible interior of the building sewer lateral using a video camera
-
Visible pipe material, transitions, joints, and general condition
-
Roots, cracks, breaks, offsets, deformation, corrosion, or deterioration
-
Blockages, debris, standing water, bellies, and evidence of restricted flow
-
The line toward the public connection or septic point as access and conditions allow
-
Representative images or video and the approximate camera travel achieved
What You Gain From Your Inspection
-
You receive direct visual information about a buried component outside a standard home inspection
-
You have better support for repair estimates, purchase discussions, or preventive maintenance
-
You know when cleaning, repair, locating, or further evaluation by a sewer professional is recommended
Good to know: Bends, debris, standing water, pipe condition, or limited access may prevent a complete view. The scope cannot guarantee future flow or evaluate portions the camera cannot reach or see.
