Now Offering Sewer Scope Inspections: Protect Your Home From the Ground Up

Front Line Inspection Services now offers sewer scope inspections to help uncover hidden drain line issues before they turn into costly repairs.

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.

What Is a Sewer Scope Inspection?

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, highly effective inspection can reveal serious issues that aren’t visible during a standard home inspection.

Sewer line problems often remain hidden until it's too late, resulting in costly repairs or even full pipe replacements. With a sewer scope, we’re able to detect:

  • Root intrusion from nearby trees
  • Cracks or collapses in the line
  • Pipe corrosion or deterioration
  • Major blockages or clogs
  • Bellied or sagging lines
  • Improper installation or materials

Why You Need One—Even If Everything Seems Fine

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.

In fact, 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.

That’s not a risk you want to take.

When to Schedule a Sewer Scope Inspection

We recommend sewer scope inspections in the following scenarios:

  • 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
  • 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.

Get Peace of Mind With Every Flush

A sewer problem is one of the costliest repairs a homeowner can face—and it often comes with no warning. A sewer scope inspection is a small upfront investment that can save you from major surprises later.
