At LunsPro Inspection Group, we go beyond the surface when it comes to protecting your home. One of the most overlooked but vital parts of a thorough home inspection is what's happening below your feet—deep in your sewer lines. That's where our sewer scope inspection service comes in.
What Is a Sewer Scope Inspection?
A sewer scope inspection involves using a high-resolution, waterproof camera attached to a flexible cable to inspect the lateral sewer line that runs from your home to the municipal connection or septic tank. This tool allows our certified inspectors—like Scott T.—to capture real-time footage of the interior condition of your underground sewer pipes.
The process is non-invasive, efficient, and incredibly informative. We insert the camera through a clean-out pipe or an accessible drain, navigating through your sewer lines while identifying potential issues that could lead to serious damage or costly repairs if left unaddressed.
What Can It Detect?
The sewer scope camera can detect a wide range of common (and costly) problems, including:
Tree Root Intrusion - Roots are naturally drawn to moisture and often penetrate older or cracked pipes, causing blockages or ruptures.
Pipe Damage - Cracks, holes, or misaligned joints can allow waste to seep into the ground, leading to environmental hazards and health risks.
Blockages and Clogs - Buildups from grease, debris, or non-flushable materials can lead to slow drainage or complete backups.
Aging or Deteriorated Pipes - Older homes with clay or cast-iron pipes are especially prone to corrosion, collapse, or general wear and tear.
Poor Pipe Installation - Previous owners or contractors may have performed DIY plumbing repairs or installations that don't meet current standards.
Who Needs a Sewer Scope Inspection?
While sewer scope inspections are valuable for any property, they're particularly important for:
Older homes (built before the 1980s)
Homes with large trees near the sewer line
Homes that have experienced frequent drain issues
Prospective homebuyers who want peace of mind before purchase
Sewer repairs are among the most expensive home repairs. A full sewer line replacement can cost anywhere from $3,000 to $10,000 or more. For a fraction of that cost, a sewer scope inspection can help identify and address problems early—before they become financial disasters.
