Are your sinks and tubs emptying too slowly? We use a special camera to scope the sewer line to visualize any blockages that are interfering with the plumbing system’s proper drainage. Finding and addressing such problems now can head off catastrophic and expensive repairs later.
A sewer scope inspection is an important step in buying or renovating a property — it’ll tell you how much work needs to be done and whether there are potential health risks lurking in the pipes. If you’re looking into purchasing a house, a sewer scope inspection will help you avoid major headaches down the road. But what exactly does a sewer scope inspection entail? What makes you think you need one? Here we explain everything you need to know regarding sewer scopes.
Your sewer inspection starts by flushing running water into your sewer system. This helps clear out debris and sediment build-up inside the pipes. Next, the camera is pushed down into the pipe, where it records images of the interior of the pipe. These images are sent to the office for review and analysis. If there are any problems found during the inspection, your inspector is able to provide you with recommendations on how to fix those issues.
A broken or damaged sewer system costs homeowners thousands of dollars to fix. If you want to avoid costly repairs down the road, it’s important to find out about potential problems early on. An inspection of a house’s plumbing system lets you know if there are any major issues before buying a home, so you don’t end up paying for repairs later.
If you want to know what kind of other problems you might encounter with your plumbing system, here are some things to keep in mind.
