Why is a sewer scope important?

A sewer scope inspection provides valuable information about the condition of a property's sewer system. Identifying any issues early on can help property owners avoid costly surprises, negotiate repairs, and make informed decisions about maintenance and upgrades.

What can a sewer scope find?

Common findings include tree root intrusion, cracked or collapsed pipe, offset or separated joints, low spots (bellies) that hold water and debris, and blockages. We also note the pipe material where visible, since older materials like clay and cast iron are more prone to problems. Everything is documented in your report with photos.
