2026 Update:
Sewer scope inspections remain one of the most important preventive services for Denver homeowners and homebuyers. With aging sewer infrastructure across the Denver metro area and increasing repair costs, this page has been updated to reflect current best practices, buyer considerations, and what to expect from a professional sewer camera inspection in 2026.

What Is a Sewer Scope Inspection?

A sewer scope inspection uses a specialized high-definition camera to inspect the interior of your main sewer line. This process allows us to identify cracks, blockages, root intrusion, pipe bellies, corrosion, or collapsed sewer lines — all without digging up your yard.

In Denver’s older neighborhoods, aging sewer pipes are common, making sewer camera inspections especially important for homeowners, real estate buyers, and property investors.

Why Denver Homeowners Need Sewer Scope Inspections

Denver homes — especially those built before the 1980s — often have clay or cast-iron sewer lines that are prone to damage. A sewer scope inspection helps uncover problems that standard home inspections cannot detect.

A Denver sewer camera inspection can help you:

• Avoid unexpected sewer repair costs
• Negotiate repairs during a real estate transaction
• Identify the tree root intrusion common in Denver yards
• Confirm the sewer line condition before remodeling or buying
  

• This is why sewer scope inspections are strongly recommended for Denver home buyers and sellers.
  

How Long Will The Sewer Scope Inspection Take?

Adding a sewer scope inspection to your residential inspection typically doesn’t add significant time to the process. In most cases, the overall inspection will be extended by only 20 to 30 minutes. This efficient addition ensures a comprehensive check without significantly delaying your plans.

Why Include a Sewer Scope Inspection?

Incorporating a sewer scope inspection is crucial for identifying potential issues such as blockages, leaks, or tree-root intrusions in your sewer lines. Knowing these details early can save homeowners from costly repairs later.

The Denver Sewer Scope Process that Diagnoses & Unclogs Sewer Line Backups?

To diagnose hidden sewer problems at your Denver home, Drain Brain LLC starts with a video inspection using a sewer camera pushed through your pipes on a sewer snake. Depending on where the backup occurs, we will run the sewer camera down branch lines (from sinks, showers, or bathtubs to the main line) or down the house’s main sewer line leading out to the street where it connects with the municipal sewer line.

Once we view your sewer lines with the sewer camera, we can pinpoint whether the sewer backup is being caused by:

·        tree roots

·        clogs, scale

·        cracks

·        debris

·        slope issues

·        bellies

·        sewer channels

·        misaligned, broken, punctured, off-grade, or corroded pipes.

If the sewer camera detects a clog and can push through the obstruction, it will continue to the main sewer line to identify any additional problem areas. The sewer snake can then remove the clogs. If the sewer camera finds buildup and debris, sewer jetting will be recommended.

If significant damage is detected in the sewer line, technicians can use the sewer camera's transmitter to prepare for excavation.

Our technician stops the camera at the damaged area, then steps outside and waves a locator until it detects the transmitter’s signal. The area is marked so we know where to dig to replace the sewer line

What Are the Signs of Sewer Line Problems Inspectors Look for Before Starting the Camera Inspection?

Before beginning a sewer scope inspection, inspectors typically look for several indicators that might suggest sewer line issues.

Here are some common signs:

• Damp Spots in Your Lawn: Inspectors will check your yard for any wet, soggy areas that may indicate a leaking sewer line.
• Unusual Lawn Depressions: They also look for unexpected low spots or depressions in your lawn, which can be a red flag.
• Indoor Backflow: Inside your home, inspectors will monitor for any signs of sewage backflow, such as water backing up in sinks, tubs, or toilets.
• Foul Odors: Unpleasant odors around your property may indicate underlying sewer line issues.
• Mold Growth: Excess humidity and mold growth indoors can result from sewer line failures, prompting further investigation.

Each of these signs can help inspectors determine whether there are underlying issues with your sewer lines before they even turn on their sewer camera inspection equipment.

Benefits of a Camera Sewer Scope?

How much do you know about your sewer line? Since it is not visible or accessible, most people don’t think about their sewer line until something goes wrong. Homebuyers may look for issues with the roof or foundation, but don’t consider the condition of the sewer line. The best way to learn about your sewer line is through a sewer scope inspection. Learn about the benefits of a sewer scope inspection so that you can take advantage of this service.

1. Fewer Landscape Hassles are One of the Benefits of a Sewer Scope Inspection

A sewer scope inspection does not require digging up the yard to access the pipes. There’s nothing invasive about a video inspection. This is convenient for both the homeowner and the inspector.

2. Pinpoints Issues

A sewer scope inspection records a video of the lateral sewer line from the house and identifies blockages or damage. This video documentation makes it easy to revisit and repair the line with minimal disturbance, since you will know precisely where the problems are located within your sewer line.

3. Visual Documentation for the Homeowners

When you’ve had your sewer inspected and repaired, keep copies of the before-and-after videos as proof that the repairs were completed. If you plan to sell your property in the near future, this video is valuable to potential buyers.

4. Benefits of a Sewer Scope Inspection Include Proof for Insurance Purposes

If you’ve just had a serious leak into the home, your homeowner’s insurance may be covering the claim. Your video inspection is critical to a quicker payout on your insurance policy. The leak itself may not be very convincing, but the video of a crack or break in the line is evidence for insurance adjusters. Always opt for a video inspection if insurance is involved in your repair.

5. Saves Money With Flat Rate

Most plumbers charge a flat rate for a sewer scope inspection. There’s no hourly rate associated with the inspection. You don’t have to wonder about the final bill. Any other plumbing work is typically priced on a materials-and-labor basis.

6. Catches Minor Issues Before They Worsen

One of the major benefits of a sewer scope inspection is the early warning about minor issues. You may not have a leak right now, but a crack along the sewer line might be visible during the inspection. Plumbers note the location of this crack so they can easily return to it for any necessary repairs. You avoid a much larger bill in the future by addressing the minor issue now.

Remember that a sewer inspection does not include plumbing costs if a repair is required. With an inspected and repaired system, you can rest assured that your sewer line is in good shape. The video inspection is invaluable for your home’s value and functionality.

How A Sewer Camera Scope Works?

You may still be wondering how a sewer scope works. Simply put, a sewer scope is a waterproof electronic camera on a flexible rod that lets a trained technician visually inspect your sewer lines and any other underground pipes that may be part of your home’s foundation.

A flexible rod allows the sewer scope camera to travel through the pipe in real time—even around tricky turns or corners—so that your technician can see the condition of your pipes. Sewer scopes enable your Drain Brain LLC technician to diagnose any existing or potential problems with your line and suggest cost-effective, no-middleman solutions. The images captured by the sewer scope are saved and become part of your customer history.

How Much Does a Sewer Scope Inspection Cost in Denver?

Sewer camera inspection costs are far less than the cost of sewer repairs if problems go undetected. Sewer camera scope and cleanouts start at $125.00 for residential properties. There are some exceptions for larger properties with longer sewer lines or difficult access areas.

To diagnose problems Drain Brain LLC runs a sewer scope camera through your pipes on a plumbing snake. We view the inside of the pipe on the screen of a handheld device. The plumbing camera picks up a variety of problems, including tree roots, misaligned, broken, punctured, off-grade or corroded pipes.

The plumbing camera also identifies grease buildup, leaks, clogs, and obstructions.

We also offer plumbing camera inspections for prospective homebuyers who want to ensure the house they plan to purchase does not have sewage issues. Just as a regular home inspection protects homeowners from costly, hidden problems after they move in, a plumbing camera inspection does the same.

If the plumbing camera finds a clog while doing the plumbing camera inspection, the plumbing snake can grab the clogs and pull them out. We call this a “Scope & Clean.” We can repeat the inspection after any service to verify the line has been professionally cleaned or repaired.
