Sewer Scope
Inspection
Your standard home inspection stops at the ground. Ours doesn't. We run an HD camera the full length of your sewer line — catching root intrusion, cracks, and bellies before they become a five-figure repair.

Your inspection stops where the trouble starts.
A standard home inspection covers what's visible — roof, foundation, plumbing fixtures. What it can't see is the sewer lateral: the buried pipe that carries everything from your house to the city main. It's one of the most expensive systems to repair, and it's completely invisible without a camera.
InspectUP runs a waterproof HD camera the full length of the line, ideally all the way to the city connection. You get real-time video evidence of exactly what's happening underground — so a hidden crack or root intrusion doesn't become your problem after closing.
Every scope captures
- Full-length HD video
- Still photos of findings
- Root & blockage locations
- Cracks, separations & bellies
- Pipe material & condition
- Distance to each problem
The whole line, on camera.
From the cleanout to the city main, select any area to see what your sewer scope covers, what it finds, and what your report will tell you.
What We Scope
Your sewer scope,
step by step.
A camera does the talking — here's how we inspect the one line you can't see.
Find the Access
We locate a cleanout and feed a waterproof HD camera into the home's main sewer line.
Scope the Full Line
The camera travels the length of the lateral — ideally to the city main — recording everything in real time.
Video & Photo Report
You get HD video, still photos of any issues, and a written summary with severity ratings.
Findings & Next Steps
We explain what we found in plain English — from a simple cleaning to a repair worth negotiating over.
The costliest pipe in your home
is the one you can't see.
over 10 years
The same certified eyes on every home.
When you book InspectUP, you get an InterNACHI®-certified, sewer-scope-certified inspector who treats your future home like it's their own family moving in — not a rushed checklist. Every report is completed personally and in-house, so nothing gets lost along the way.
The line you can't see is the one that'll cost you.
Dodge a five-figure repair
Sewer line replacement can run $8,000 to $25,000. A quick scope catches trouble while it's still a cleaning — not a dig-up-the-yard emergency.
See it on camera
No guessing. Our HD camera gives you real-time video of the actual pipe, so you know exactly what shape the line is in before you buy.
Negotiate with evidence
A dated video and written report with severity ratings give you and your agent hard proof to request a repair or a seller credit.
See exactly what's in your line.
A sewer scope isn't guesswork. We feed a waterproof, self-leveling HD camera down the main line and record the entire run in real time — every joint, bend, and defect — with a distance counter that marks how far each finding sits from the access point.
We pride ourselves on giving you the most accurate information possible, so your decision is based on evidence, not a hunch. When you can see exactly what's happening underground, you can head off a very expensive repair long before it starts.
They found moisture behind a wall that looked perfectly fine — that one catch saved us thousands before we even made an offer.
