Sewer Scope | Sewer Inspection
The most common sewer scope process involves inserting a digital video camera and transmitter into the sewer line through a sewer clean out, a removed toilet, or a vent line typically located within the home. The objective of the sewer inspection is to identify tree root intrusion, cracks, leaks, debris, off-set pipes, or soil movement.
