What Is a Sewer Scope Inspection?
A sewer scope inspection uses a specialized waterproof camera to inspect the underground sewer line that connects your home to the municipal sewer system or septic system.
Many sewer line issues cannot be detected during a standard home inspection because the piping is underground and out of sight. A sewer camera inspection allows us to identify potential problems before they turn into costly repairs.
Sewer scope inspections are especially valuable for older homes, homes with mature trees, and properties where the condition of the sewer line is unknown.
Why Should You Have a Sewer Scope Inspection?
⇒ Avoid Expensive Repairs
Major sewer line repairs or replacements can cost thousands of dollars. Identifying problems before closing can help buyers make informed decisions and negotiate repairs when necessary.
⇒ Uncover Hidden Issues
Many sewer line defects remain completely hidden until a backup, blockage, or failure occurs.
⇒ Gain Peace of Mind
Knowing the condition of the sewer line helps eliminate uncertainty and reduces the risk of unexpected expenses after moving in.
Common Sewer Problems We Look For
Tree Root Intrusion
Tree roots naturally seek moisture and can enter sewer lines through small cracks or joints, eventually causing blockages and damage.
Blockages & Obstructions
Grease buildup, debris, foreign objects, and other obstructions can restrict proper wastewater flow.
Cracked or Broken Pipes
Older sewer lines may crack, collapse, or deteriorate over time due to age, shifting soil, or external pressure.
Bellies & Low Spots
Sections of pipe that have settled can collect standing water and debris, increasing the risk of future blockages.
Separated Pipe Joints
Pipe connections can shift or separate over time, allowing roots, water, and soil intrusion.
Aging Sewer Lines
Many older homes still contain aging clay, cast iron, Orangeburg, or other materials that may be nearing the end of their service life.
Sewer Scope Inspections for Homebuyers
A sewer line may be one of the most expensive systems in a home to repair, yet it is often overlooked during the buying process.
Adding a sewer scope inspection to your home inspection provides valuable information about the condition of the sewer line and can help prevent unexpected repair costs after closing.
For many homebuyers, a sewer scope inspection is one of the most valuable optional inspections available.
