What Is a Sewer Scope Inspection Service?

Sewer scoping refers to a process of inspecting the condition of a home's sewer lines using a specially-made camera. Sewer scoping inspectors can help identify possible problems before they turn into major problems, potentially saving the homeowner substantial time and money in the end.

How Is a Sewer Scoping Inspection Service Performed?

A sewer scope camera is a compact, water-resistant, high-definition camera that is stuck onto a flexible cable and inserted into a home's sewer line to check for possible problems or damage. Adapted with a strong light source, the camera takes video footage and images from inside the sewer line, which is shown on a screen concurrently. Sewer scoping inspectors can track where the camera is located within the sewer line by marking the cable at regular intervals. Sewer scope cameras are made to provide a comprehensive look at the sewer line's condition, allowing for early awareness and repairs of any problems or damage.

The inspector will check for leaks, blockages, cracks, or other damage to the sewer line during a sewer scope inspection. The camera will also uncover the overall condition of the sewer line, including how old it is, the materials it's made of, and any signs of wear. Sewer scoping inspectors are typically certified contractors using specially-made equipment. Based on the size and complexity of the sewer line, the inspection can take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours.
