Before you buy the house, inspect the pipe leaving it.®
A sewer line problem can be one of the most expensive hidden issues in a home — and it often isn’t visible during a standard inspection. A sewer scope inspection uses specialized camera equipment to evaluate the condition of the home’s main sewer line.
What’s underground matters.

What Is a Sewer Scope Inspection?
A sewer scope inspection uses a specialized camera inserted through an accessible cleanout or drain to visually inspect the interior condition of the main sewer line.
The inspection may help identify:
- Cracks or damaged piping
- Root intrusion
- Blockages or obstructions
- Bellies or low spots
- Deterioration in older sewer lines
Real-time camera evaluation provides insight into conditions hidden from ordinary view.
