Sewer Scope - Septic Scope Inspection
Why have a sewer scope done?
Sewer inspections are important because any problems with the main sewer line are the financial responsibility of the owner. In some jurisdictions it can be the responsibility of the city. If there are problems with the sewer line that routine sewer cleaning won’t solve, the repairs will be expensive.
We scope septic plumbing lines from the exterior cleanout to the first main baffle of the septic tank. Septic plumbing lines have the same possible issues as a sewer line.
Common issues include:
Belly (low areas) - Areas in the line that sag and hold water and debris.
Offsets - Two sections of pipe not lined up correctly, can cause root intrusion and leaks.
Roots - Roots cause damage and or clog the line.
Grease Buildup - Buildup of grease sticks to the sides of the pipe and can restrict proper flow.
Cracks/Damage/Corrosion - Older lines are susceptible to these issues.
Obstructions - New or old lines can have items obstructing proper flow.
We are Certified sewer scope inspectors
If you request us to perform a Sewer Scope Inspection we will inspect the properties lateral sewer line from the house at/near the foundation to the city/HOA tap or septic tank in order to evaluate its condition and to identify any components that may be in need of immediate repair or clearing of debris.
This inspection will include accessing the sewer line and inserting a camera device or scope into it to evaluate it. The inspection process will be recorded, and a report will be generated to outline what we’ve found. We will provide you with a link to a copy of the recording.
The report we prepare will be based on our visual observations and the data we collect from the inspection camera equipment. The inspection and evaluation are not intended to be technically exhaustive. We will provide a written Sewer Scope Inspection Report that is a summary of observations and unbiased opinions based on the experience of the inspector.
The Sewer Scope Inspection Report will outline and define the portions of the sewer line that were inspected, as well as any areas that were not inspected and the reason(s) they were not inspected, in addition to general statements of what is commonly included and excluded during such an inspection.
