Our Sewer Scope Inspection Process
1. Initial Consultation
Our team will discuss any concerns or current issues the customers is facing. We will explain the benefits and process of a sewer scope inspection and determine if this will help address the problem.
2. Scope Inspection
Our home inspector will run the specialized sewer camera into the cleanout or other access point in the sewer line. Slowly, we will guide the camera through the sewer line to inspect the interior condition of the pipes. We will monitor the live video feed from the camera to identify any issues, such as blockages, cracks, root infiltration, or pipe deterioration.
3. Assessment & Analysis
We will analyze the findings from the inspection to determine the overall condition of the sewer line. Any issues will be documented along with the level of severity and urgency to resolve them. A detailed report will be given to help our customers review the analysis.
