Lateral Line Sewer Scope + Video + Report

What Is A Sewer Scope Inspection?

Technically, a sewer scope is a tool. But sewer scope is also commonly known as the process of the camera-led inspection.

A sewer scope inspection is a camera-led scoping of the lateral sewer line only. The scope will begin at the house and navigate via a long cable line to the end of the lateral sewer line. A sewer scope inspection does NOT include scoping of all of the plumbing throughout the home.

What is a lateral sewer line?

The lateral sewer line is the pipe that carries all the wastewater from the home to the main sewer line or septic tank. The lateral sewer line will end where the main sewer line begins or end at a septic tank.

What is a main sewer line?

The main sewer line is the pipe that carries all the wastewater from the lateral sewer line to the municipality. The main sewer line is owned by the city and it’s the municipality who is responsible for the maintenance of this line.

DO I NEED TO ORDER A SEWER SCOPE?

Yes, because a camera inspection is the only way to discover issues within the lateral sewer line once the sewer line is buried.
