Why a Sewer Scope Matters

A home’s sewer line may be out of sight, but it should never be out of mind. Cracked pipes, root intrusion, or buildup in the main sewer line can lead to costly backups and emergency repairs—especially in older homes.

Our professional sewer scope inspections use high-resolution cameras to visually inspect the main line from the home to the street or septic system. It’s fast, non-invasive, and could save you thousands in repairs.
