What Is a Sewer Scope?

A sewer scope is a camera inspection of a homeowner’s  sewer system. They are used to check for problems in the homeowner’s sewer lines, such as clogs and leaks. A sewer scope is usually done by inserting a camera into a sewer line.

The camera sends images back to the inspectors, who look for signs of damage, such as cracks or other problems. The inspectors will also look for signs of tree roots growing into the sewer lines.

These can cause blockages and damage to the pipes. A sewer scope inspection takes approximately one hour.

Why Are Sewer Scopes Important?

Sewer scopes are important because they allow maintenance workers to find and fix problems in the sewer line. Broken pipes or blockages can lead to sewage overflowing into the home.

How Long Does a Sewer Scope Take?

A sewer scope takes around one hour. Following your sewer scope, we will provide the results including pictures and videos of the damage and problems found in the pipes.

Should I Get A Sewer Scope Inspection?

You should get a sewer scope inspection if you live in a city with a sewer system and think there is a problem. This can signify tree roots growing into the pipes or leaks into the ground. You should also get a sewer scope inspection if you notice sewage or contaminated water in the streets.

This may be an indication that there is a blockage in the system that needs to be fixed. 

What Is Looked For:

  • Serious clogs or blockages in the sewer line
  • Cracks, damage, or imperfections in the line
  • The type of material used for the line (clay, concrete, plastic, metal, etc.)
  • Roots growing through the line
  • Separation or failure of the line
  • Potential damage or issues with the septic tank (if present)

You can expect to see a video feed from inside the sewer. You can see any damage or blockages in the pipe, including signs of tree roots.

What is scoping a drain?

Scoping a drain is like an in-depth version of a sewer scope. It is an inspection of a home’s drain system, including the pipes that carry water out of the building. This is often done during the sewage installation process to ensure there are no problems with the system. 

Is a sewer scope worth it?

A sewer scope is definitely worth it if you think there may be an issue with your sewer line.

A sewer inspection may be able to detect problems before they become major issues. This allows maintenance workers to fix the problem while it is still small and inexpensive.

What should I look for in a sewer scope video?

You can use the sewer scope video to identify any problems in the pipes. Look for signs of tree roots, cracks, or other damage that may indicate a problem. You can also look for debris or other materials in the pipes that may cause a blockage or damage in the future.

You can use the video to note any changes to the pipe from the last time you had a scope. This can help you spot problems early so you can have them fixed.

What Customers Say

Professionals You Can Trust

I hired Pro Sewer Repair to replace my sewer line. Their estimate was much more reasonable then Pro Sewer fixed a large break in our sewer line where it joined the city mainline. They handled this large job effectively, cost-efficiently, and were great to work with. Jamie and Rob were awesome to work with on scheduling and responsive to questions, and the team (Jason and James) did a great job with the work. Would use them again and will recommend to friends.
