Sewer Scope Inspection
Closer Look Home Inspectors · InterNACHI Certified · Mankato, MN
The purpose of a sewer scope inspection is to check the condition of the property’s sewer line and to determine if the system is functioning as designed. Your certified inspector will insert a fiber-optic camera into the sewer line through the sewer clean out.
If no obstructions are encountered, we will inspect from the clean out to the city-main tap. We will report on the material types as well as problem areas if located.
Common Defects Found
Why should I get a sewer scope inspection in Mankato?
We recommend sewer scope inspections for all homes — new and old. Older homes may have aging clay or cast iron sewer lines susceptible to root intrusion, bellying, offsets, and cracks, while even new construction can have damaged or improperly installed lines. Sewer line replacements can cost tens of thousands of dollars. A sewer scope inspection is a small investment that can save you from unexpected major repairs.
How does a sewer scope inspection work?
We insert a waterproof video camera into the sewer cleanout and feed it through the entire length of the sewer lateral to the city main. The real-time video allows us to identify blockages, root intrusion, pipe deterioration, bellying, and other defects in your Mankato home's sewer line.
When should I add a sewer scope to my Mankato inspection?
We recommend a sewer scope for every home inspection — new and old. Even newly built homes can have broken or damaged sewer lines from construction activity. Older homes may have deteriorating pipes, root intrusion, or settling issues. Whether buying new construction or a century home, a sewer scope gives you complete peace of mind about the condition of the sewer lateral.
