Professional Sewer Scope Inspections in Denver
Avoid Costly Repairs due to your homes sewer system.
Why Choose a Sewer Scope?
Your Lateral sewer line is one of the most critical parts of your home’s plumbing system, responsible for directing waste away from your home. The only way to ensure there are no hidden issues is through a professional sewer scope inspector, like 5280 Property Inspections. Problems like damage, breaks, clogs, crushed pipes, and offsets can lead to costly repairs – and even sewage backups inside your home.
Save Thousands with Early Detection
A sewer Scope can save homeowners thousands of dollars by catching problems before they escalate. Sewer line repairs or replacements can range from $3,000 to over $8,000, making early detection a smart investment. If you’re purchasing a home, a sewer scope can also provide valuable negotiating power if repairs are needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
A sewer scope inspection involves inserting a small, high-resolution camera into your home’s lateral sewer line to check for damage, clogs, root intrusions, or other potential issues. During the inspection, a device called a Sonde is used, which sends a signal to a locator. This allows to pinpoint the exact location of any damage or issues within the pipe, facilitating precise identification and assessment of problems for effective repair planning.
It’s recommended to get a sewer scope inspection at least once a year as part of regular home maintenance. If you’re buying a home, it’s crucial to have one done before closing to avoid unexpected repair costs.
If the sewer inspection reveals issues, you’ll receive a full report and video footage. Depending on severity, you may need professional cleaning, repairs, or even replacement. If you’re purchasing a home, this information can be used for negotiations.
Coffee grounds and grease create thick sludge, leading to clogs, while paper towels and hygiene products don’t break down easily, increasing the risk of blockages. Avoiding these items can help keep your sewer system clear.
