Sewer Scope Inspections in Delaware County, PA

The main sewer line is mostly hidden from view, and problems may not be apparent during a standard home inspection. HomeTeam Inspection Service of Delco provides sewer scope inspections throughout Delaware County and nearby communities.

During a sewer scope inspection, a specialized camera is inserted into an accessible portion of the line to examine its interior condition. The inspection may reveal visible concerns such as blockages, root intrusion, damaged sections, deterioration, or other conditions that could affect drainage and lead to future repairs.

What to Expect

During the service, a specialized camera is introduced through an accessible cleanout or other suitable entry point and advanced through the line as conditions permit. The inspector looks for visible concerns such as obstructions, root intrusion, displaced joints, cracking, deterioration, or standing water. Findings and limitations are documented for the client.

The service may include:

Visible blockages and accumulated debris

Root intrusion or other obstructions

Cracks, deterioration, or separated and offset sections

Low areas where water appears to collect

Material changes, accessible connection points, and inspection limitations

Why Choose HomeTeam of Delco?

Camera travel can be limited by the line’s condition, configuration, access, or an active blockage. A sewer scope is a visual inspection and does not guarantee future performance. When a significant concern is observed, further evaluation by a qualified plumber or sewer specialist may be recommended.

Frequently Asked Question

Is a sewer scope included in a standard home inspection?

No. It is a separate ancillary service because it requires specialized equipment and access to the main sewer line. It can often be scheduled at the same time as the home inspection.
