Sewer Scope Inspections
At The Real Estate Inspection Company, in addition to our comprehensive home inspections, we offer inspections for specific systems, like our sewer scope sewer inspection. When buying or selling a home, the only way to know for certain if your drain line is clear is to look inside it with a camera. Find out for certain by calling (800) 232-5180 or schedule now. We serve San Diego and the surrounding areas.
Additional Inspection
The Real Estate Inspection Company is proud to offer sewer scope services to our clients as an optional inspection. Just like a home inspection, sewer scope sewer inspections are visual in nature and do not include dismantling any component other than removing a cleanout cover.
What Can the Video Reveal?
Our technicians use state-of-the-art digital color cameras to take a careful look at your sewer line from the inside. Inspectors show up with over $25,000 worth of equipment, including cameras that can inspect up to 200 feet instead of the typical 100 feet. The camera is inserted through a cleanout and fed into the pipe until it reaches the public sewer line or septic tank.Just like our home inspections, The Real Estate Inspection Company does not perform repairs on sewer lines. Therefore, we are unbiased in our reporting and not influenced by the possibility of performing expensive repairs. Our interactive reports also allow us to provide you with the most detailed information possible. Try our interactive sample report now!
Our inspections tell the story of your house.
Here’s what is included:
- Video color scan of the main drain line or “lateral.”
- Accessing the main drain line from a standard cleanout to the street or alley where it connects to the public sewer system or to your septic tank.
- A written report including the findings.
- A link to the video.
- Locating and placing a marker at the site of the defect.
The color video you receive will confirm that the drain is in good condition, or it can be used to obtain a quotation from a contractor for repair if the drain is clogged, broken, collapsed, or damaged in any way. We place a marker on the ground where defects are found.
Location, Location, Location!
In the event we cannot access the drain line, you will not be charged for our sewer scope inspection. In some cases, old cleanouts cannot be removed without causing damage. In some older homes, no cleanouts are present which in itself is a costly repair. We do not install cleanouts or modify the plumbing in any way.
Don’t be stuck with a huge repair bill!
