Castle Rock’s Trusted Sewer Scope Inspection Services
One of your responsibilities as a homeowner is maintaining your home to avoid costly repairs. The last thing you want is to spend a fortune on plumbing repairs or call a contractor to fix a structural issue. You can prevent that with regular home maintenance, and a sewer scope inspection can help maintain your home. The service involves using a camera to get a clear view of your entire sewer system and check for any issues with your plumbing. Problems with your plumbing system can cost you a lot of money, but you can prevent them by calling a trusted professional to conduct sewer scope inspections.
What to Expect from a Sewer Line Scope Inspection
Depending on the property size, a sewer system scope evaluation should take a few minutes to about an hour. Before inserting the camera, the inspector flushes water through the pipes to clear debris. Once they locate the sewer’s access point, they insert the camera to start the inspection. They thoroughly check the pipe’s interior for any clogs, cracks, root infiltration or any sign of a sagging sewer line. After the sewer scope inspection, our team provides you with a detailed report of findings and discusses the steps needed to alleviate the problem.
Signs You Need a Sewer Scope Inspection for Your Property
Cracks or clogs in the sewer lines can cause a range of problems in your home, including health issues when contaminated water backs up. Schedule a professional sewer scope inspection if you notice the signs below:
- Pest infestation: Do you see rodents in your home? These pests can carry diseases and damage your property. Rodents are usually found in the sewer systems, so if there’s an infestation, the problem could be a clog or leaks in the sewer.
- Large trees: If you have large trees near your home, the roots can grow into the sewer lines and cause extensive damage to your plumbing system. Getting an inspection can determine if there’s a root infiltration.
- Water backs up: When water backs up, it usually indicates a problem with your plumbing system. If it backs up in the crawlspaces, you could be dealing with mold issues. Schedule a sewer scope inspection right away.
- Mold: A leaky sewer pipe can cause mold to grow. Check for any visible mold or musty smell near your plumbing.
You must also schedule an inspection if your home was built over 25 years ago. Older homes likely have sewer cracks; a camera inspection can determine if there are issues with the sewer pipes and if they need replacement.
How Sewer Scope Inspections Protect Your Home’s Plumbing
The camera used for professional sewer scope inspections is equipped with powerful lights that fully illuminate the interior of the pipes, allowing the inspector to take images and videos. A professional inspector can see any cracks, blockages or other damage to your pipes. The team documents and analyzes the findings, including providing you with a recommendation on how to keep your sewer system healthy.
Sewer scope inspections can prevent more costly repairs or replacements. Without them, you won’t know if roots are infiltrating the pipes or leaks are causing mold growth in your home. If you want to protect (and save) your plumbing, scheduling a professional inspection is beneficial and helps you save money on repairs and replacements.
The Benefits of Regular Sewer Line Scope Assessments
Getting a sewer scope inspection can detect problems early, allowing you to address them before they become a more costly plumbing issue. Consider a regular inspection and enjoy these benefits:
- Cost savings: No homeowner wants to spend a fortune on plumbing repairs or pipe replacements. Regular sewer scope inspections allows a professional to find any issues, and you can do repairs as soon as possible.
- Peace of mind: Knowing your sewer system is healthy puts your mind at ease. Regular inspections can prevent sewer-related repairs.
- Lowers insurance premiums: Some companies may require sewer scope inspections as part of their process. Your premiums could be lower if you have proof your sewer system is in good condition. Also, you don’t have to worry about filing future claims with a regularly maintained sewer system.
When buying a home, getting a sewer scope inspection can help you decide whether to proceed with the purchase. Hire an expert with plumbing knowledge and inspection experience to get a more detailed report and findings.
