Why Do You Need a Sewer Scope Inspection?

 A sewer camera inspection before you purchase the home will help ensure that the main sewer line is free of problems that can cause headaches after you move in. Protect your investment and avoid expensive repairs!

The inspector inserts a flexible rod with a specialized high resolution camera,  up to 100 feet into your main sewer line. Real-time image transmission allows the inspector to determine the condition of the inside of the pipe and understand any existing or potential problems. 

What Problems Will a Sewer Scope Identify?

Tree Roots

Gaps in piping allow tree roots to enter the sewer line. As the roots grow, the pipe can crack and break.

Debris

Items become lodged in the sewer line, preventing the flow of waste through the pipe.

Low Areas

Low areas collect water and solid waste, causing poor flow through the pipe.

Pipe Collapse

Significant soil settlement around an offset or low area, can cause complete pipe collapse.

Offsets

Sections in the piping can separate, causing an offset in the piping. Solid waste may not clear this offset, and waste water will seep into the surrounding soil, causing further settlement and eventual breakdown of the piping.
