Sewer Scope Inspection in Wichita, KS
A standard home inspection doesn't go underground. A sewer scope does. And what it finds can save you from one of the most expensive surprises a homeowner can face.
What Is a Sewer Scope?
A sewer scope is a camera inspection of the underground sewer line that runs from the home to the municipal sewer connection. It gives you a real look at what's happening inside a part of the property that's completely invisible during a standard walkthrough.
Common issues a sewer scope can reveal include:
Root intrusion — tree roots growing into and through sewer lines is one of the most common problems in older neighborhoods
Cracks or breaks — shifting soil, age, and settling can cause significant damage to underground pipes
Blockages — buildup, debris, or collapsed sections that restrict or prevent proper flow
Bellied pipe — sections of pipe that have sunk and create a low spot where waste collects
Deteriorating pipe material — older homes may have clay, cast iron, or Orangeburg pipe that's past its useful life
How It Works
A sewer scope camera is run through a cleanout access point and travels the length of the sewer line from the home to its connection point at the sewer main, septic tank, or lagoon. Footage is reviewed in real time, and findings are documented in a Sewer Report, with a video link included for your records. Reports are provided within 24 hours, and all sewer inspections are performed by licensed plumbers.
Sewer Scope: $175
