You should have a sewer inspection if you’re buying a home built before 1990, if you’ve had multiple drain backups, if there are sewage odors in the yard, or if mature trees are growing near the sewer line. A sewer camera scope is the only way to know for sure what’s inside the pipe and the most expensive plumbing surprise to avoid.
Reasons to scope your sewer
- Home is older than 1990 with original sewer line
- Trees within 10–20 feet of the line
- Repeat backups or slow drains
- Sewer odors near the yard or basement
- Buying or selling — protect yourself before closing
A sewer camera inspection takes about an hour, shows you exactly what’s happening underground, and prevents tens of thousands in surprise costs. If a problem is found, we quote sewer line repair or trenchless replacement on the spot.
