Sewer Scope Inspections

What You Can’t See Can Cost You — Let’s Make Sure It Doesn’t

A home’s sewer line is one of the most expensive systems to repair — and one of the most commonly overlooked. At CTX Home Inspection, our sewer scope inspections give you a clear view inside your home’s main sewer line so you can avoid unexpected and costly repairs after move-in.

Why You Need a Sewer Scope

Even newer homes can have sewer issues due to poor installation, root intrusion, or shifting soil. Common problems include:

Cracked or collapsed pipes
Root infiltration
Poor slope and pooling (standing water)
Offset or separated joints
Grease or debris blockages
Pipe material concerns (e.g., cast iron, clay, Orangeburg)

A quick scope can save you thousands by spotting these issues before they become emergencies.

What We Do

Using a high-resolution sewer camera, we inspect the lateral line from the cleanout toward the street/main. Our process includes:

Inserting a camera through the accessible cleanout
Viewing and recording the condition of the pipe interior
Identifying blockages, standing water, or damage
Noting the material type and condition
Providing a video and report with honest, clear explanations

We’ll walk you through what we find, what it means, and what next steps (if any) you should consider.
