Sewer Scope Overview

A home’s main sewer line is one of its most important features, transporting wastewater from all sinks and toilets to the city’s main sewer line. However, it is also one of the most expensive to fix should something go wrong, leaving the homeowner fully responsible for necessary repairs.

This is why we highly recommend homebuyers have a Sewer Scope performed prior to purchase. A Sewer Scope uses a fiber-optic camera to take video footage of the inside of your home’s entire main sewer line.

Benefits of a Sewer Scope Inspection

Sewer Scopes are one of the most beneficial inspections you can have for your home. Most sewer line issues are not going to be noticeable until they have become a much larger and potentially costly problem. A Sewer Scope will help you:

Determine Condition of Pipes

Even if your home has not shown any signs of drainage issues, it is still wise to know the condition of your pipes. It is quite common for older homes to have sewer lines made from less durable materials that may need to be replaced sooner rather than later.

Identify Issues

Sewer lines are susceptible to a variety of issues not visible from the surface, including clogs and deterioration. Sewer lines can also be damaged by tree branches and shifting soil, with the latter being particularly common due to Texas and New Mexico’s rich clay-laden soil.

Save Money

In the case of sewer line repairs, it is much better to be proactive than reactive. Damaged sewer lines can not only cause major damage to your home but can also result in costly damage to city property, all of which you will be responsible for.
