At AmeriSpec, we know how important it is to give our clients peace of mind when it comes to the health and safety of their homes—and that includes what’s going on beneath the surface. One of the most overlooked but crucial aspects of a home inspection is the sewer scope inspection. This specialized service provides a video look inside your property’s main sewer line to identify any issues before they turn into expensive repairs.
We’re excited to share an update: While we previously offered sewer scope inspections through our partner company, Sewer Crawlers, that company has now been acquired by Marvel Sewer and Drain. The great news? It’s the same trusted face you’ve come to rely on—we still work with the same inspector, just now operating under a new logo. It’s truly a “same face, new logo” situation, and we’re proud to continue this partnership with a team that shares our dedication to quality and professionalism.
What Is a Sewer Scope Inspection?
A sewer scope inspection involves running a specialized, high-resolution camera through your home’s main sewer line. This process allows our inspector to detect hidden problems like cracks, clogs, tree root intrusion and pipe misalignments that can cause major issues down the road.
Why Is It Important?
Most sewer line issues are invisible until symptoms like slow drains, backups or unpleasant odors appear—by then, you may already be facing costly repairs. A sewer scope inspection is especially critical when buying or selling a home. Older homes, homes with large trees nearby or properties with known drainage problems are particularly high-risk.
Catching these issues early can give you leverage in a real estate transaction, help you plan for future maintenance or simply give you peace of mind that everything is in working order.
Common Sewer Scope Findings
Some of the most common problems found during sewer scope inspections include:
- Tree root infiltration
- Pipe cracks or collapses
- Bellied or sagging pipes
- Construction debris or blockages
- Offset joints and pipe misalignments
Each of these issues can lead to backups or failures that are not only inconvenient but also very expensive to repair if left unaddressed.
Partnering with Marvel Sewer and Drain
We’re thrilled to continue offering this valuable service in partnership with Marvel Sewer and Drain. With the same inspector still leading the inspections, you can expect the same thorough, reliable service you’ve come to trust. The name may have changed, but our commitment to high-quality inspections has not.
