Buyers must bear in mind that a healthy looking sewerage system may break up anytime resulting in an ugly mess inside your house that will not only disrupt your daily schedule but also cost you a bundle when you go about fixing it. There is, however, a silver lining – a way of saving yourself all this uncalled for trouble in a very simple and cost-effective manner.

With a sewer scope, a buyer can easily make sure that the drainage system of the house that he is buying is working properly. Sewer scopes are extremely economical procedures that can be carried out by our home inspector. The process of a sewer scope is achieved by putting a cable inside the drainage from the main waste line that is located inside the house. The cable is then taken all the way to the municipal sewer or the septic tank. At the end of the cable, there is a tiny camera that scopes the interior portion of the sewer and relays back on a screen the actual position of the drain. It is able to detect blockages, breaks and clogs inside the sewer. The images that the sewer scope sends back through the cable are digitally recorded and can be viewed several times by a prospective buyer of the house enabling him to examine the inside of the drainage and whether it is working properly.

Sewer scopes can uncover each and every trouble that may be brewing inside the sewer. This helps in planning and carrying out remedies for these problems. In case the sewer scope reveals a trivial problem, it can be solved with the help of a rooter service. However, in a few cases, the sewer scope may report a problem that would demand replacement of the entire sewerage line. Sewer scopes can prove exceptionally useful for a potential buyer of a particular property. A sewer scope will enable him to know exactly how the sewerage line of the house is working, and whether it is suitable to buy the house or not.
