Sewer Scope Inspections

A sewer scope provides a view inside the accessible main sewer line, helping identify conditions that cannot be seen during a standard home inspection.

What We Evaluate

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.

Pipe Materials

Visible pipe materials and transitions are documented as the camera travels through the accessible line.

Root Intrusion

Roots entering through joints, cracks, or damaged sections are documented when visible.

Cracks & Damage

Visible cracking, breaks, holes, deformation, offsets, and other pipe damage are documented.

Bellies & Standing Water

Areas holding water or showing reduced slope are documented when visible during the scope.

Connections & Joints

Accessible joints, transitions, fittings, and connections are reviewed for visible concerns.

Line Termination

When accessible, the camera is advanced toward the municipal main, septic connection, or practical inspection limit.

Sewer Scope Inspection Includes

Why a Sewer Scope Matters

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.

Important: A sewer scope is a visual camera inspection of accessible portions of the line. Camera access, line condition, obstructions, water, bends, and other conditions may limit how far the camera can travel.
