What is a sewer scope?

A sewer scope inspection is a relatively simple process that involves inspecting the sewer line or plumbing. Professional inspectors use a flexible camera borescope to view and record video inside your pipes.

During the inspection, the camera is moved through the main drainpipe of the house and along the sewer lines. The inspector examines the pipes for visible cracks, damages, and clogs. They also report any structural damage or health risks associated with your sewers.

The duration of the inspection depends on the size and complexity of your sewer system.

It is recommended to have a plumbing inspection conducted before purchasing your dream house and to continue having inspections performed as your home ages.
