To perform the sewer scope inspection, your inspector will use a flexible borescope camera to view and record your pipes. This process includes:

  1. Inserting the camera into the main drain pipe.
  2. Extending it through the sewer lines to identify any issues.

The inspector will assess:

  • Cracks, blockages, or damage in the pipes.
  • Leaks or health risks, such as toxic gases, bacteria, or mold.
  • Additional concerns that may affect your property’s plumbing.

Common Sewer Issues to Watch Out For

Some warning signs of potential sewer problems include:

  • Flooding in your home or yard.
  • Foundation issues caused by leaking water.
  • Mold growth due to excessive moisture.

Reviewing the Sewer Inspection Video

After the inspection, you’ll review the video footage with your inspector. Together, we’ll look for:

  • Pipe cracks and blockages.
  • Intruding tree roots.
  • Pipe material type and its condition.
  • Issues related to your septic tank (if applicable).

Addressing these concerns immediately can help prevent more extensive and costly damage in the future.
