SEWER DRAIN SCOPE INSPECTIONS
Sewer Drain Scope Inspections can save you thousands of dollars in possible unseen and unknown repairs!
If you are buying a new home, or own a home that is over 20 years old, there are many inspections to consider. One you should not skip is a sewer drain scope inspection. International Association of Certified Home Inspectors recommends these inspections be done whenever you are buying a new home, or every few years for home owners.
Small issues with piping can cause costly fixes if not caught and corrected quickly. These issues can be identified by having a sewer drain scope inspection performed. This inspection is done using a specialized flexible camera to inspect the sewer piping. Common causes of issues and damage to sewer piping include:
- Forceful or invasive tree roots – You should get a sewer drain scope inspection if you have large trees near your sewer system. This inspection will ensure that the roots are not pushing on, or pushing into your pipes.
- Older materials in older houses – If your house is over 20 years old, it may have clay or Orangeburg Pipe sewer piping which are brittle and prone to breaking and disintegrating.
- Broken pipes or misaligned joints – If you have lush patches of grass or constant wet spots in your yard, this is a common sign that your pipes have issues. This could be a break in your sewer piping, or a shifting in the joints which will misalign the connection.
- Clogged pipes – If there is water backing up into your house, or foul smells coming from your sewer line, it is possible that you have a clogged pipe.
