What is a sewer scope inspection?
A sewer scope is a video camera inspection of the main sewer line that runs from the home to the municipal or septic connection. We feed a waterproof camera through the line and record its condition, looking for root intrusion, cracks, offsets, low spots, and blockages that a standard home inspection cannot see.

A sewer or septic-line repair is one of the most expensive surprises a buyer can face, so scoping it before closing in Eden Valley protects you from a major hidden cost.
