Sewer Scope Inspection in Houston, TX

As part of a comprehensive property evaluation, we offer sewer scope inspections throughout Houston, Sugar Land, Rosenberg, Katy, Missouri City, and the surrounding areas. A sewer scope inspection uses a specialized video camera to visually examine the condition of the underground sewer lateral line connecting the home to the municipal sewer system or septic tank.

​

This inspection can reveal conditions that are not visible during a standard home inspection, including root intrusion, cracks, bellies (sagging sections that trap water and waste), pipe corrosion, separated joints, and outdated materials such as clay or cast-iron piping that are more prone to failure over time.

​

A sewer scope inspection is especially valuable for older homes, properties with mature trees near the sewer line, or homes with a history of slow drains or sewage backups. Because sewer line repairs and replacements can be a significant expense, identifying problems before closing gives buyers important information and potential negotiating leverage.

​

During the inspection, a flexible camera is fed through an accessible cleanout or drain opening to record the interior condition of the pipe from the house to the connection point. Findings are documented with video and/or photos as part of your inspection report.

​

A sewer scope inspection can be scheduled on its own or bundled with a general home inspection for a more complete picture of the property's condition, and same-day reports are available in most cases to help keep your transaction on schedule.
