Sewer Scope Inspections
You Can Trust

Focused, unbiased sewer camera inspections—no upsells, just clear answers.

Know the true condition of your sewer line—before it becomes a $10,000+ surprise.
When you’re buying, selling, or managing a property, the sewer line is one of the most expensive and overlooked risks. Most problems aren’t visible during a standard home inspection—but they can lead to major repairs, delays, and renegotiations.

At Front Range Sewer Scope, sewer inspections are all we do. No plumbing upsells. No hidden agenda. Just clear, professional sewer scope inspections you can rely on.
We provide high-quality video inspections and easy-to-understand reports so you can make confident decisions—whether you’re a homeowner, buyer, real estate agent, or inspector.

Why Sewer Scopes Matter More Than Most People Realize

The biggest issues in a home are often underground
Many sewer line problems develop slowly over time—roots, cracks, offsets, or sagging lines. By the time symptoms show up inside the home, the damage is often already expensive.

A sewer scope inspection helps identify issues early, before they turn into:

  • Costly repairs or full sewer replacements
  • Unexpected deal renegotiations
  • Insurance complications
  • Long-term property damage


Most home inspections don’t include sewer lines
Even thorough home inspections typically stop at what’s visible. The sewer line—buried underground—is not included unless specifically requested.

That’s why more buyers, sellers, and agents are making sewer scopes a standard part of the process.

What Makes Front Range Sewer Scope Different

Sewer scopes are not a side service for us—they are our only service

Many companies offer sewer scopes as an add-on to plumbing or inspections. That creates a conflict: they may benefit from finding problems.

We don’t repair sewer lines. We don’t upsell services.

We inspect. We document. We report.

That’s it.

Unbiased reporting you can trust

Our reports are designed to be clear, accurate, and easy to understand. We show exactly what we see—no exaggeration, no minimization.

You get:

  • Full video footage of the inspection
  • Clear identification of any issues
  • Straightforward explanations in plain language
  • Professional documentation for agents, buyers, and sellers


Built for real estate professionals and homeowners

We work with:

  • Home buyers
  • Home sellers
  • Real estate agents (listing + buyer side)
  • Home inspectors
  • Property managers
  • Insurance providers

 

Our process is designed to fit seamlessly into real estate timelines—without slowing anything down.

Common Sewer Line Problems We Identify

Roots in sewer lines

Tree roots naturally seek moisture and can enter small cracks in pipes. Over time, they expand and cause blockages or breaks.

Offsets and misaligned pipes

Pipes can shift due to soil movement or age, creating “offsets” where sections no longer align properly.

Cracks and fractures

Older pipes—especially clay or cast iron—can crack or deteriorate over time.

Bellies (low spots)

Sections of pipe that sag can collect water and debris, leading to recurring issues.

Blockages and buildup

Grease, debris, or foreign objects can restrict flow and cause backups.

When Should You Get a Sewer Scope Inspection?

Before buying a home

This is the most critical time. A sewer issue can cost thousands—and often becomes a negotiation point.

Before listing a home

Many sellers now choose to get ahead of potential issues. A pre-listing sewer scope gives you control of the situation.

During property ownership

If you’re experiencing slow drains, backups, or recurring plumbing issues, a sewer scope can help identify the root cause.

For Home Inspectors: Stay Efficient, Add Value, Avoid Liability

Avoid missed issues that come back on your report. Sewer line problems are one of the most common and costly issues not covered in a standard inspection. When they show up after the fact, it can reflect back on you.

By addressing the sewer line during the inspection, you can:
Avoid overlooked major defects
Reduce follow-up questions and liability. Keep your inspection clean and complete

A simple way to add value without adding complexity
Recommending a sewer scope allows you to offer more to your clients—without extra time, equipment, or responsibility.

For Real Estate Agents: Control the Narrative, Avoid Surprises

Prevent last-minute deal disruptions
One of the most common reasons deals fall apart or get renegotiated is sewer line issues discovered late in the process.

By addressing the sewer line early, you can:

  • Avoid unexpected repair demands
  • Maintain negotiation leverage
  • Keep transactions moving smoothly


A simple way to add value to your clients

Recommending a sewer scope positions you as proactive and detail-oriented—while helping your clients avoid major risks.

For Home Sellers: Eliminate Uncertainty Before It Becomes a Problem

Get ahead of potential objections

When sewer issues are discovered during buyer inspections, they often lead to price reductions or repair requests.

A pre-listing sewer scope allows you to:

  • Address issues on your terms
  • Provide transparency to buyers
  • Strengthen your position in negotiations

How Our Sewer Scope Inspection Process Works

A simple, step-by-step process designed to give you clear answers with no surprises.

1

Schedule your inspection

Booking is simple and flexible. We work around your timeline —whether it’s during an inspection window or at a convenient time for you.

2

On-site sewer scope inspection

We insert a high-resolution camera into the sewer line through an accessible cleanout. The camera travels through the pipe, capturing real-time footage.

3

Review and documentation

We record the full inspection and identify any issues along the way.

4

Receive your report

You receive a clear, professional report along with video footage — so you can see exactly what’s happening inside the line.

For Home Buyers: Protect Your Investment

A small upfront cost can prevent major expenses

Sewer repairs or replacements can range from thousands to tens of thousands of dollars.
A sewer scope inspection gives you clarity before you commit.

See exactly what you’re buying

Instead of guessing, you’ll have real video evidence of the sewer line condition—so there are no surprises after closing.

Have the knowledge about a home ahead of time.

Why “Unbiased” Matters in Sewer Scope Inspections

Not all sewer inspections are equal

If a company both inspects and repairs sewer lines, there is an inherent incentive to find problems.
We’ve built our entire model around removing that conflict.

Our role is simple: provide the truth

We document what’s there—good or bad—so you can make informed decisions.
