At Front Line Inspection Services, we're committed to providing the most thorough and informative inspections possible. That's why we're excited to officially offer Sewer Scope Inspections as part of our growing service lineup.
A sewer scope inspection uses a high-resolution camera to examine the condition of your home's main sewer line from the house to the street. This non-invasive inspection can reveal serious issues that aren't visible during a standard home inspection: root intrusion from nearby trees, cracks or collapses in the line, pipe corrosion, major blockages, bellied or sagging lines, and improper installation or materials.
Many homeowners and buyers assume if drains are flowing and toilets flush, the sewer must be fine. But sewer line issues can develop over time without warning signs, especially in older homes or properties with large trees nearby. During a recent sewer scope, we uncovered a significant break in a drain line that was completely blocking flow. Without this inspection, the issue would have gone unnoticed until after the sale, leaving the buyer with thousands of dollars in emergency repair costs just weeks after moving in.
We recommend sewer scope inspections when purchasing any home, especially older homes or flips; if the property has large trees or prior plumbing issues; when you notice slow drainage or frequent backups; and as a routine maintenance check every few years. Adding this service to your standard home inspection gives you the full picture above and below ground.
