Brick House Inspections offers main sewer line inspection by a video sewer camera to inspect for defects in the pipeline such as roots, collapse, or calcium at the joints, or other blockages that may prevent water from exiting the home and traveling to the city sewer or septic system. These defects may cost thousands of dollars in repairs.  Your inspection includes a video of the inspection so that you can make an informed decision about one of your largest life purchases.

What is a sewer inspection?

A sewer inspection can reveal blockages, damage to the pipe system, and other problems, which are vital for homeowners and home buyers to be aware of. For example, if there is a damp depression in the lawn above the sewer line or if there is backflow into the home or if contaminants have been discovered in the potable water supply, a sewer scope inspection can be critical to identifying and confirming these problems, which must be addressed immediately.

What types of issues will a sewer line inspection reveal?

  • Growth of tree roots
  • Cracks or damage to the sewer line
  • Debris blockage or clogs
  • Calcium growth
  • Separation or failure of the line
  • Sagging and low areas in the drain
  • Type of material used for the line (PVC, clay, etc.)

A sewer line inspection is a small price to pay to avoid finding out later that there are major problems lurking out of sight.
