What’s Included in a Sewer Scope Inspection?

After the inspection, you’ll receive clear findings and straightforward explanations, so you understand exactly what’s going on with your sewer line and what (if anything) needs attention.

Sewer Scope Inspections Play a Key Role in the Homebuying Process
Once your offer is accepted and you’re under contract, it’s critical to inspect the home’s main sewer line during the contingency period. Sewer issues are often hidden from view and are not typically covered in a standard home inspection—yet repairs can cost thousands of dollars.
A professional sewer scope inspection gives you clear insight into the condition of the sewer line before you finalize your purchase. Our inspections provide unbiased, camera-based findings so you can make informed decisions and avoid costly surprises after closing.
A sewer scope inspection can help you:
Identify hidden issues such as root intrusion, cracks, blockages, or pipe damage
Avoid unexpected sewer repairs after moving in
Understand potential repair needs before negotiating or closing
Gain peace of mind knowing the condition of the sewer system
What Home Buyers Should Know During a Sewer Scope Inspection
Buyers are not required to be present during the inspection, but many choose to attend or review the findings afterward. Our team will clearly explain what was found inside the sewer line and answer any questions you may have.
If issues are discovered, we’ll walk you through what they mean, how serious they are, and what next steps you may want to consider—so you can move forward with confidence during one of the most important purchases you’ll ever make.

Home Buyers Ask, We Answer!
Should I still get a sewer scope inspection if I’m getting a full home inspection?
Yes. While a full home inspection is strongly recommended when buying a home, it typically does not include a detailed inspection of the sewer line. Sewer lines are underground and out of sight, which means serious issues can go unnoticed without a dedicated sewer scope inspection.
A sewer scope inspection gives you a clear view of the condition of the main sewer line and can uncover problems such as cracks, root intrusion, blockages, or pipe deterioration. Identifying these issues before closing allows you to budget properly, negotiate repairs if needed, and move forward with confidence knowing there won’t be unexpected sewer-related expenses after you move in.
What do home inspectors look for?
Home inspectors evaluate visible and accessible areas of a property to assess its overall condition and safety. This typically includes structural components, electrical systems, plumbing fixtures, HVAC systems, roofing, insulation, and other major elements of the home.
However, most home inspections do not include a full evaluation of the main sewer line. Sewer lines are underground and out of sight, which means specialized camera equipment is required to properly assess their condition. A sewer scope inspection focuses specifically on the sewer line and can uncover hidden issues such as blockages, root intrusion, cracked pipes, or deterioration that may not be detected during a standard inspection.
Pairing a sewer scope inspection with a home inspection provides a more complete understanding of the property and helps reduce the risk of unexpected sewer-related repairs after purchase.
Should the buyer be present during a sewer scope inspection?
It is not required for the buyer to be present during a sewer scope inspection. However, attending the inspection can be helpful. Being on-site allows buyers to see how the inspection is performed, view the live camera footage, and ask questions about the condition of the sewer line.
If the buyer is unable to attend, the inspection can still be completed without issue. Findings are clearly explained afterward, and documentation or video footage can be provided so the buyer can review the results and understand the condition of the sewer line before moving forward.
I’m in the process of buying a house. When should I schedule a sewer scope inspection?
A sewer scope inspection should be scheduled as soon as your offer is accepted and you are under contract. This ensures the inspection takes place within your inspection or contingency period, giving you time to review the results and address any concerns before closing.
Because sewer scope inspections are quick and non-invasive, they are easy to coordinate alongside other inspections. Early scheduling also allows time to request repairs, negotiate credits, or plan next steps if issues are discovered.
Once you’re under contract, contact us to check availability and get your sewer scope inspection scheduled at a time that works best for you.
What should I expect to see in a sewer scope inspection report?
Your sewer scope inspection report is clear, easy to understand, and focused on helping you make informed decisions. During the inspection, a high-resolution camera is used to evaluate the interior condition of your sewer line from the home to the main connection.
The report outlines any findings such as blockages, root intrusion, cracks, pipe offsets, standing water, or other conditions that could impact proper flow. When requested, video footage or images from inside the sewer line are provided so you can see exactly what was observed.
Reports are typically delivered quickly, giving you the information you need whether you are buying a home, selling a property, or planning preventative maintenance.
The home is being sold “AS-IS.” Do I still need a sewer scope inspection?
Yes. Even when a home is being sold “AS-IS,” a sewer scope inspection is still highly recommended. An “AS-IS” sale simply means the seller is not agreeing to make repairs—it does not mean the sewer line is free of issues.
A sewer scope inspection allows you to understand the true condition of the underground sewer line before or shortly after purchase. Many serious sewer problems, such as root intrusion, cracked pipes, offsets, or partial collapses, are hidden and cannot be identified without a camera inspection.
Whether completed before closing or after the sale, a sewer scope inspection helps you plan ahead, budget for potential repairs, and avoid unexpected sewer emergencies after you take ownership of the home.
How long does a sewer scope inspection take?
A sewer scope inspection is typically quick and efficient. In most cases, the inspection takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on factors such as the length of the sewer line, ease of access to the cleanout, and the overall condition of the pipe.
Because the process is non-invasive and uses specialized camera equipment, there is no digging or disruption required. Results are available shortly after the inspection, making it easy to fit into a homebuyer’s inspection timeline or a homeowner’s maintenance schedule.
How much does a sewer scope inspection cost?
The cost of a sewer scope inspection typically ranges based on the location of the property, accessibility of the sewer cleanout, and the length or condition of the sewer line. In most cases, pricing is affordable compared to the potential cost of sewer repairs.
At Sewer Scope & Rooter, we focus on offering competitive, upfront pricing with no unnecessary add-ons. Our goal is to make sewer scope inspections easy to schedule, straightforward, and cost-effective—especially for homebuyers who want peace of mind before closing.

Is it safe to buy an older home without a professional inspection?
What are some tips for buyers before a sewer scope inspection?
To get the most value from a sewer scope inspection, start by scheduling it early in your inspection window so you have time to review the results and negotiate if needed. If possible, confirm the home has an accessible cleanout—this helps the inspection go smoothly and allows for the most complete view of the sewer line.
If you attend the inspection, ask to see the live camera footage and request a clear explanation of anything concerning, such as root intrusion, pipe cracks, standing water (“bellies”), offsets, or heavy buildup. Be sure to request video or images for your records, and review the findings carefully with your agent so you understand what may require repair or further evaluation.
A sewer scope inspection is one of the best ways to avoid surprise sewer repairs after closing and gives you extra confidence in the purchase.
