Cutaway diagram of a 100-foot sewer lateral from house cleanout to city main, showing root intrusion, an offset joint, a belly with standing water, and localized debris
A camera scope walks the full lateral — house to main — so hidden defects are documented on video, not discovered after closing.

What's Included

Camera the Lateral Line

We push a specialized camera through the main sewer line from house to municipal connection.

Add-On to Any Inspection

Pair a sewer scope with your home inspection in one visit.

What a Sewer Scope Catches

These are the localized defects our camera documents on the run from your house to the city main:

Root Intrusion

Tree roots break in at joints, snagging waste and blocking flow.

Offset Joint

Misaligned segments create a lip that catches debris and leaks.

Belly / Sag

A settled low spot holds standing water and slows drainage.

Localized Debris

Grease, gravel, and settled solids restrict the line over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why scope the sewer line?
Sewer lateral repairs can run from a few thousand to $15,000+. A scope reveals the line's true condition — especially important for older homes or properties with large trees whose roots invade pipes.
How does it work?
We feed a waterproof camera on a flexible cable through a cleanout or accessible point and record the interior of the line all the way to the municipal or septic connection.
Which homes need it most?
Older homes, homes with mature trees, and any property where the sewer line's age or material is unknown. It's cheap insurance against a very expensive surprise.
