Sewer Scope Inspections

Sewer Scope Inspections

When purchasing a newer or older property it is easy to forget about a crucial checkup like a sewer scope inspection. Our inspectors perform these by using a flexible borescope camera that allows them to see and records video of your pipes. 

The camera will run through the homes main drainpipe and maneuver its way throughout the sewer lines.  Our inspectors look for visible cracks, damages, or clogs and will report any structural damage that come from your sewers. Several common issues found with a sewer scope inspection are bellied sections, root growth, damaged/crushed pipes, leaking joints, misaligned pipes, corrosion, blockages, failing pipes, and old material.

It is recommended to have a sewer scope inspection prior to purchasing your new property, and to have them routinely done as your home gets older.

Re-inspections

A re-inspection is a modified home inspection that occurs prior to the buyer taking possession of the property and is recommended to:

  1. Ensure that the agreed-upon repairs are completed by the seller.
  2. Inspect an area that was not accessible at the time of the original inspection
  3. Inspect components and/or utilities in the property that were inactive at the time of the original inspection (i.e. water is not on)

Fees

An inspector will return to the property to re-inspect the repairs that the client has selected. The pricing varies depending on the quantity of items selected:

$100 1-10 items

$200 11-20 items

$300 21- 31 items

$400+ 31+ items (an 80% inspection fee will be assessed with a $400 minimum)

How the re-inspection is reported-

  • If the re-inspection occurs prior to possession and is used to review repaired items, an addendum is completed within the report.
  • If the re-inspection occurs for an inaccessible area or a component that is off, the original report is to be modified, and any additional discoveries are added.

Please Note:

  • Upon completion of the re-inspection report, the buyer/agent will be notified that the report is prepared. The document will not be available until payment has been received.
  • Our team will try to have the re-inspection performed by the original inspector, however, a replacement inspector may be required due to shortened timelines.
