What is a sewer scope inspection?
Quick answer: A sewer scope is a camera inspection that sends a flexible video camera down the home's main sewer lateral to reveal its interior condition — root intrusion, cracks, bellies, offsets and pipe-material failures — all the way to the city connection.
The sewer lateral is buried, owner-responsible, and invisible to a standard inspection. A scope is the only way to see inside it.
It is especially valuable in Bloomington's tree-lined older neighborhoods, where clay and cast-iron laterals are prone to root intrusion and joint failure.
You get recorded video documenting the line's actual condition, so a costly underground problem doesn't become a post-closing emergency.
