Buyer Due Diligence: Not Drain Cleaning

A sewer scope is not a drain-cleaning service. It is a buyer due-diligence inspection using a camera to view the accessible sewer lateral before closing.

The sewer line is one of the most expensive parts of a home to repair and one of the easiest to overlook, because it's buried. A sewer scope shows the real condition of the line so you can make your decision with that information in hand, before you complete the purchase.

What It Can Identify

Visible Concerns, Found Before You Close

A sewer scope can help identify visible concerns in the accessible portion of the line, including:

Root intrusion
Offsets and separations
Blockages
Damaged or deteriorated piping
Other visible defects

Included in the Wise Choice and Total Confidence Inspections when the line is applicable and accessible, or add it to any inspection.
