The Basics
What Is a Sewer Scope Inspection?
Think of it like an X-ray for your home's plumbing. We run a high-tech, flexible borescope camera straight down your home's main drainpipe to get a live, HD video feed of your sewer lines — taking all the guesswork out of the equation.
We maneuver the camera through the entire system to hunt down any visible cracks, blockages, or structural damage before they become a major disaster.
Why You Need One
Structural Damage
A failing sewer line can cause flooding, sinkholes, and dangerous foundation shifts that are far more costly than an early inspection.
Health Hazards
Sewage backups introduce mold spores and bacteria directly into your crawlspace or living areas — a serious health risk for your family.
Massive Repair Bills
The average major sewer line repair easily runs into the thousands — and homeowner's insurance rarely covers wear-and-tear. Early detection saves serious cash.
Warning Signs
6 Signs Your Sewer Line Needs Scoping
01
Unwanted Pests
Rodents and insects love broken sewer lines. If you're seeing pests above ground, the problem might actually be below it.
02
Water Backups
Slow drains or water backing up into your home are classic warning signs of a blockage or damaged line downstream.
03
Shifting Ground
Heavy Carolina rain can cause soil movement that easily offsets pipe joints, creating leaks and gaps underground.
04
Suspiciously Green Grass
If one patch of your yard is looking too lush, it might be getting "fertilized" by a sewer leak directly beneath it.
05
Large Trees Nearby
Tree roots are notorious for wrapping around pipes, crushing them, or growing into small cracks and causing major blockages.
06
Older Home
If the house was built over 25 years ago — especially pre-1984 — those old clay pipes are incredibly fragile and prone to failing.
Our Process
What We Look For
When we scope your lines, we're watching the live HD video feed for any signs of trouble. Our technicians are trained to identify issues that aren't obvious to the untrained eye — and we'll walk you through anything significant we find.
Root Intrusions & Clogs
Tree roots grow into even the smallest cracks, eventually causing full blockages and pipe failure if left unchecked.
Cracks, Bellying & Pipe Separation
Bellying — low dips in the pipe that collect water and waste — along with cracks and separated joints are major red flags we flag immediately.
Pipe Condition & Material
We assess the overall condition and material of your lines — older clay or Orangeburg pipes require closer attention and may need proactive replacement.
