Sewer Camera Inspections for Home Inspectors

A general home inspection typically does not include a sewer scope. We work alongside inspectors to provide the sewer piece, so your clients get the full picture without a second trip.

01Sewer & drain

Most home inspection standards do not require looking inside the sewer lateral. That leaves a gap, and it is one of the larger risks a buyer can miss. We fill that gap as a specialist you can call on when a client needs a scope.

We coordinate with your schedule. If you are already at the property, we can often arrive the same day and run the camera while you finish your inspection. Your client gets a separate professional sewer report alongside your general report, and you offer a more complete service without adding a trade to your license.

For inspectors who refer sewer scopes regularly, we can set up a simple working relationship. You recommend us when the property warrants a scope. We handle the scheduling, the inspection and the report. Your client gets taken care of and you stay focused on your inspection.

05Questions

What people ask about sewer inspections for home inspectors

Can you arrive the same day as my inspection?

Often, yes. Give us the property address and your schedule and we will coordinate. The earlier you let us know, the more likely we can arrive while you are still on site.

Is the sewer report issued under your company?

Yes. The report comes from us as a licensed plumbing company. It is a separate document from your home inspection report.

How do I set up a referral relationship?

Call us. We can set up a simple arrangement where you recommend a sewer scope when the property warrants one and we handle everything from there.

What happens if you find a problem?

We explain the findings to the client and outline what a repair would involve. If they want to move forward with a repair, they can schedule that separately. We do not pressure anyone at a home inspection.
