Slopeside Home Inspection Provides Accurate & Unbiased Sewer Scope Inspections For The Vancouver, WA And Portland, OR Metro Area

Before you purchase a home, be sure to hire a qualified professional to perform a sewer scope. It could save you several thousand dollars and steer you clear of drain failure or the experience of a backed up sewage system. A Slopeside Home Inspection sewer inspection will determine the serviceability of the main sewer line from the property access point to the city main, septic, or HOA tap connection. We can perform an sewer scope in coordination with a standard home inspection.

Sewer line repair costs can be substantial. It’s not uncommon for plumbers to submit a $10K repair quote for a failed sewer line. The location of sewer lines and the degree of the damage can cause these repairs to be even more expensive. This makes it critical to have a sewer scope performed within the time of your home inspection prior to purchase, so you’re not stuck with a large repair bill after you own the home.

Old Homes And New Homes Need Sewer Scope Inspections

Sprinkler systems, sloughs, tree roots, blockages, and more, can cause a sewer line to fail a sewer scope inspection. In the Vancouver, WA and Portland, OR areas, old and new homes have had problems with their sewer lines. Older homes can have concrete or cast iron sewer systems which are prone to fail or become damaged, as should be expected, due to materials breaking down over time. Newer homes, even new construction, can also have problems with sewer lines. Newer sewer lines have failed due to mechanical damage, improper installation, as well as concrete or other debris having been dumped down a drain. Regardless of the age of the home, these known problems make it in your best interest to have a sewer scope conducted on any house you’re seriously considering buying.

Independent Sewer Scopes

We provide independent sewer scope inspections that are not tied to contracts for additional inspection work. We have your best interests in mind. We provide you with accurate information about your potential new home’s sewer line. Sewer scope inspections do not always follow a pass or fail process, so clear communication is important when describing the results of a sewer scope. We always strive to give you clear context about what we find during the inspection so you come away with an understanding of the assessment.

After we perform your sewer scope, we’ll send you an inspection report with information about the sewer line and a link to a high-quality video you can use for obtaining repair bids. We will be available to discuss your sewer scope in detail and offer referrals for trusted contractors.

You can schedule your sewer scope in coordination with your home inspection or as a standalone service by using our online scheduler.
