In short, it’s when a technician runs a camera through your sewers to check for damage and leaks. While a sewer scope inspection does not have to be during a real estate transaction, most of the time this is when it occurs. Sewer scope inspections are also generally not included in the typical home inspection and are an additional inspection a client should order.
Homeowners should get one if their home is older than 1970. However, we recommend every homebuyer order a sewer scope with their home inspection.
Costs range from $150 (with a home inspection) to over $300.
Damaged sewer pipes can lead to structural damage in the home if left unchecked.
Damaged sewers can cause health effects from sewage gases and exposure to sewage.
We record the entire process of the sewer scope inspection so we can review footage with you and while writing the report.
If there is any visible damage, we review our initial findings with you onsite.
We send electronic reports of your sewer scope inspection the same day for your review.
Our office is available once you receive the report to help answer questions and concerns.
