🚽 What’s Lurking Down There? A Fun Guide to Sewer Scope Inspections (Sewage Inspection) 🕵️‍♂️💩

You’ve finally found your dream home. The kitchen sparkles, the floors shine, and the backyard screams summer BBQs. But beneath the charm and curb appeal, something sinister might be brewing deep below the surface...

No, it’s not a horror movie, it’s your sewer line. And that’s where the hero of our story comes in: the Sewer Scope Inspection. 🎥🐍

Wait, What’s a Sewer Scope Inspection?

Imagine a tiny camera, attached to a long, flexible tube (think robotic snake spy) that slithers through your home’s sewer line. It sends back video footage of what’s going on inside your pipes—tree roots, cracks, blockages, damaged pipes, mysterious goo, and sometimes even the aftermath of that time someone flushed a toy dinosaur. 🦕

In short, it's a plumbing colonoscopy for your house.

Why Should You Care?

Sewer problems are the silent assassins of homeownership. You usually don’t know there’s a problem until stuff starts coming up the wrong way. 🤢

A sewage inspection:

• Saves money: Finding a $200 problem today beats a $10,000 excavation tomorrow.

• Helps negotiations: Buying a house? Use the results to bargain like a boss.

• Avoids disasters: Prevents your dream home from turning into a biohazard zone.

What Can the Camera Find?

• Tree root invasions (nature’s pipe-wreckers)

• Cracks or breaks in the line (caused by age or shifting soil)

• Belly or sag in the line (where waste likes to pool and throw parties)

• Grease buildup, corrosion, and other gunky issues

• Unidentified Floating Objects (UFOs) 👽

When Should You Get One?

• Buying a new home (especially if it was built before 1980)

• If you notice slow drains, foul smells, or frequent backups

• After major landscaping or foundation work

• If your dog keeps sniffing that one spot in the yard...

How Long Does It Take?

Usually 30 to 60 minutes. It’s quick, non-invasive, and you even get to watch the footage! It’s like the weirdest movie night ever.

How Much Does It Cost?

Expect to pay anywhere from $200 to $350 with Upland Inspections depending upon discounts and promotions. That’s peanuts compared to the cost of replacing a collapsed sewer line.

Final Flush 💧

Getting a sewer scope inspection isn’t the most glamorous part of homeownership, but it might just be the smartest. Whether you’re buying, selling, or just making sure your porcelain throne stays royal, a quick peek underground can save you a ton of trouble.

So go ahead, embrace your inner detective, and get scoping! Because when it comes to what’s lurking below, it’s better to know before it blows.
