SEWER SCOPE INSPECTION

---

 The primary purpose of a sewer scope inspection is to assess the condition of the sewer line that connects your property to the municipal sewer system or septic tank. This inspection involves using a specialized camera to inspect the interior of the sewer pipes. Identifying issues early can prevent costly repairs and potential health hazards associated with sewer line failures.

What can a sewer scope inspection detect?

• Blockages:  Tree roots, grease buildup, and foreign objects can all cause blockages in your sewer line.
• Cracks and breaks:  Over time, sewer lines can crack or break due to age, settling, or tree root intrusion.
• Collapsed pipes:  If a sewer line is severely damaged, it can collapse, causing a major sewage backup.
• Misaligned pipes:  Improperly installed pipes can lead to clogs and other problems.
• Deterioration:  Sewer lines can deteriorate over time, making them more susceptible to damage.

1. Early Detection of Problems: Sewer scope inspections can identify issues such as clogs, cracks, tree root intrusion, or other damage before they escalate into major problems.
2. Cost Savings: Addressing sewer line issues early can save you significant repair costs and help avoid emergency plumbing services that may arise from unexpected failures.
3. Informed Real Estate Transactions: For homebuyers, a sewer scope inspection provides critical information about the condition of the sewer system, which can influence purchasing decisions and negotiations.
4. Preventive Maintenance: Regular sewer inspections can be part of preventive maintenance, helping you to avoid future issues and extend the lifespan of your sewer system.
