Sewer Scope Inspections

Sewer Scope Inspections in Northern California

A high-resolution camera inspection of your main sewer line β€” catching cracks, root intrusion, and blockages before they become five-figure repairs.

Your sewer lateral is one of the most expensive systems to repair and one of the few a standard inspection can’t see inside. Across the Central Valley, mature trees and older clay or cast-iron lines mean root intrusion and pipe failures are common β€” especially in established Stockton, Lodi, and Modesto neighborhoods. A sewer scope sends a specialized camera down the line so you know its true condition before you buy, not after a backup floods your slab.

Why a Sewer Scope Matters

Root Intrusion

Tree roots seek out joints and small cracks, slowly choking and breaking the line.

Aging Pipe Material

Older clay, Orangeburg, and cast-iron lines crack, corrode, and collapse over time.

Hidden Blockages

Grease, debris, and bellied pipe sections trap waste and cause backups.

Costly to Repair

A full lateral replacement can run thousands β€” worth knowing before you close.
