If your home is on a sewer drain system, you may be responsible for its maintenance – and payments – up to a certain point. 4D Inspections will use an advanced sewer scope camera to inspect a home’s lateral sewer line running from the house to the public sewer line. This high-resolution video can detect issues and potential hazards that may otherwise go undetected – leaving you with potentially footing the bill for repairs.

why get a sewer scope inspection?
Booking a sewer scope inspection is an easy decision. Wastewater lines are not only frequently impacted by material pushed down the drain from inside the house, but also from tree roots or other debris impacting the pipe itself. Further, sewer pipes have a limited lifespan and can deteriorate, increasing the potential for backups – and costly replacements. Protect yourself today!
