A sewer scope uses a high-tech camera to look at the condition of a sewer line to the city’s main sewer line. It checks for blockages, cracks, tree roots infiltrating the line, and more.
Why is it worth getting your sewer line inspected?
The pipe that connects a home to the city’s sewer is called the lateral sewer line, and the homeowner is financially responsible for blockages, repairs, and any other fixes. Checking out the sewer line when buying a home is critical, to ensure you’re not inheriting a significant issue and financial burden.
What cameras or technology are used with sewer scopes?
We keep up with the latest technology, using waterproof, HD cameras that have a flexible cable.
Is this part of a home inspection, or an add-on?
Sewer scopes do not come standard with a home inspection, they are an add on. However, that add-on is a great value, especially if something is wrong. It can save you a lot of money with your home purchase to avoid liability, or provide peace of mind that your sewer line is clear and will be functional for years to come.
