5 Signs You Need A Sewer Scope Inspection

Most homeowners never think about their sewer line until something goes wrong — and by then, it's often an emergency instead of a routine fix. A sewer scope inspection uses a small camera to look inside your line and show you exactly what's happening, before a small problem turns into a backed-up basement.

1. Slow Or Gurgling Drains In Multiple Fixtures

One slow drain is usually a local clog. But when several fixtures across the house are slow or gurgling at the same time, it's often a sign of a blockage further down the main line, not just one pipe.

2. Frequent Backups

If you've snaked the same drain more than once in the past year, the snake is treating a symptom, not the cause. A scope shows whether you're dealing with roots, a collapsed section, or years of grease buildup.

3. Sewer Odor Indoors Or In The Yard

A cracked line or failing seal can let sewer gas escape into your home or yard. A camera inspection pinpoints exactly where the break is, so we're not guessing where to dig.

4. You're Buying An Older Home

Older clay or cast iron sewer lines are prone to root intrusion and corrosion. A pre-purchase sewer scope can save you from inheriting a very expensive surprise a few months after closing.

5. Trees Near Your Sewer Line

Roots are one of the most common causes of sewer line damage in the Denver metro. If you have mature trees near your line and haven't had it scoped in the last few years, it's worth checking before it becomes a backup.

Not Sure What's Going On Underground?
