Sewer Scopes
Sewer Scopes are $150 when added to an inspection service, $175 when performed alone.
What Is a Sewer Scope?
A sewer scope inspection uses a specialized high-definition camera to examine the underground sewer line that carries wastewater from your home to the municipal sewer system or septic system. Because sewer lines are buried underground, significant defects can exist without any visible signs inside the home. A sewer scope can identify problems such as root intrusion, cracked or collapsed pipes, offsets, bellies, blockages, and deteriorated line materials before they become expensive repairs. For homebuyers, a sewer scope inspection can provide valuable insight into one of the most costly hidden systems on a property.
Colorado Sewer Scope Facts Every Homeowner Should Know

Homes built decades ago may have clay, cast iron, Orangeburg, or other outdated pipe materials that are more prone to failure.
3
Sewer repairs can cost thousands of dollars.
A damaged underground sewer line can result in repairs ranging from several thousand dollars to well over $10,000 depending on depth, access, and replacement requirements.
4
Most sewer line defects are not visible during a standard home inspection.
Because the sewer line is underground, a dedicated sewer scope inspection is often the only way to identify hidden defects before closing.
