SEWER SCOPE INSPECTION

See what’s happening underground before it becomes an expensive surprise.

A standard home inspection evaluates many of the visible and accessible components of a property, but the main sewer line is underground and cannot be fully evaluated without a specialized camera inspection.

A sewer scope allows our inspector to visually examine the sewer line from the accessible clean out toward the street or under the home, helping identify conditions that may otherwise go unnoticed.

What Can a Sewer Scope Find?

A sewer scope may reveal:

* Tree root intrusion

* Cracked, broken, or collapsed pipes

* Bellies or low spots that hold water

* Foreign objects or construction debris

* Corrosion or deteriorated pipe materials

* Heavy buildup or blockages

* Signs of previous repairs or areas that may need further evaluation

Why Get a Sewer Scope Before Buying a Home?

The sewer line is an important part of the property—and problems can be hidden underground with little or no visible warning inside the home.

For Las Vegas Valley home buyers, a sewer scope can provide valuable information about the condition of the line before closing, when you still have the opportunity to better understand the property and any potential repair needs.

Sewer scopes can be valuable for both resale and new-construction homes. Older properties may have aging or deteriorated materials, root intrusion, movement, or previous repairs, while newer homes can still have installation issues, offsets, debris, or damage within the line.

Finding an issue early can help you make a more informed decision and may prevent an unexpected sewer repair after you move in.

Homeowners Can Be Responsible for the Sewer Lateral

In many parts of the Las Vegas Valley, the private sewer lateral serving the home is the homeowner’s responsibility. Because repairs can involve excavation and, depending on the location of the defect, potentially accessing areas beneath driveways, landscaping, or portions of the home, knowing the condition of the line can be especially important before purchasing a property.

Know What You’re Buying

A home can look great above ground while an expensive problem is developing below it.

Adding a sewer scope to your home inspection gives you another layer of information about the property and can help identify concerns that would not be visible during a standard home inspection.

Clear Documentation of Our Findings

After the sewer scope, a written report, photo, and recorded video are provided so you can clearly see and understand the findings.

If a significant condition is discovered, we can document its approximate location and recommend additional evaluation or repair by the appropriate licensed professional when needed.
