Why hire a Sewer Scope Inspector

What does a Sewer Scope Inspector do?

A sewer scope inspector runs a camera through the main sewer line from the house to the city connection or septic tank to find cracks, tree root intrusion, sagging sections (bellies), blockages and collapsed pipes. It's a recommended add-on to a home inspection, especially for older homes.

Also known as: sewer line inspection, sewer camera inspection, main line video inspection

Benefits of hiring a Sewer Scope Inspector

  • Avoid a surprise repair bill. Sewer line replacement can cost thousands and isn't covered by a standard home inspection.
  • Negotiate before closing. Use the video and report to ask the seller for repairs or a credit.
  • Video evidence. You get a recording of the line you can share with plumbers for quotes.

Why hire a Sewer Scope Inspector who speaks your language

A sewer scope inspector who speaks your language walks you through the camera footage, explains what each defect means for your budget and helps you decide what to ask the seller.
