A sewer scope provides a view inside the accessible main sewer line, helping identify conditions that cannot be seen during a standard home inspection.
Professional sewer scope inspections throughout the Kansas City metro. Metro One uses a sewer camera to evaluate accessible main sewer lines for visible defects, roots, damage, deterioration, and flow concerns.
Visible pipe materials and transitions are documented as the camera travels through the accessible line.
Roots entering through joints, cracks, or damaged sections are documented when visible.
Visible cracking, breaks, holes, deformation, offsets, and other pipe damage are documented.
Areas holding water or showing reduced slope are documented when visible during the scope.
Accessible joints, transitions, fittings, and connections are reviewed for visible concerns.
When accessible, the camera is advanced toward the municipal main, septic connection, or practical inspection limit.
The main sewer line is largely concealed underground, and significant defects may not produce obvious symptoms during a standard home inspection.
A camera inspection can identify visible conditions that may warrant cleaning, repair, further evaluation, or sewer-line protection planning.
Tell Metro One about known cleanouts, past backups, recent sewer work and access restrictions when scheduling. Accessible entry points and the condition of the line affect how much of the main sewer line can be viewed.
A home inspection evaluates visible and accessible building systems. A sewer scope uses a camera inside accessible portions of the main sewer line. Discuss both services when planning your appointment.
Obstructions, standing water, bends or limited access may restrict the inspection. A limited view does not establish the condition of the unviewed pipe. Further evaluation may be recommended.
Review the findings and inspection limits before deciding on repairs. A qualified sewer contractor or plumber can evaluate recommended work and provide an estimate. The camera inspection documents visible conditions; it does not guarantee the future performance of the line.
