Sewer camera scope

Request a callback

A sewer scope is the cheapest way to know the truth about the line under the yard. It is the standard move before buying an older home, after a recurring clog, and before any sewer repair quote you are asked to believe.

What the camera shows

Roots at the joints, scale and corrosion on cast iron, bellies holding standing water, cracks, offsets where the pipe has shifted, and debris the drain never cleared. The footage is plain enough to watch yourself; a plumber who walks you through the video is showing you the answer, not selling you a service.

When to scope

Before buying anything with mature landscaping or a pre-1990 build. After the second clog that keeps coming back. Before accepting a four-figure repair quote on someone else's word. And on rural properties, when the question is whether the line even runs to a city main or ends at a septic tank.

What the report should include

Footage you keep, the distance marks where defects sit, and a plain summary of what each one is and whether it needs action now or monitoring. A scope report you cannot watch back is worth less than one you can.
