What is a sewer scope, and how is it different from a regular inspection in Faribault?

A standard home inspection is a visual evaluation of what we can see, and a buried sewer line isn't one of those things, which is exactly why a sewer scope is a separate, specialized service. In a sewer scope, we insert a small waterproof camera into the home's main sewer line through a cleanout or accessible point and feed it all the way to the city main, recording the journey. This matters enormously in Faribault, where many older homes still have vitrified clay laterals that crack at the joints and invite root intrusion from the mature trees lining established streets. The camera reveals cracks, offsets, root masses, bellies where water pools, and partial or full collapses, problems that a regular inspection simply cannot detect and that can cost many thousands of dollars to repair. Bundling a sewer scope with your inspection gives you a complete picture of one of a home's most expensive hidden systems. It's inexpensive insurance against a buried surprise.
