A Sewer Inspection Could Save You Thousands

Is a Sewer Inspection โ€œWorth It?โ€ โ€” The Short Answer is Absolutely

Aaron Plumbing tech performing sewer inspection

At Aaron Services: Plumbing, Heating, and Cooling, we offer professional sewer inspection services that take the guesswork out of diagnosing plumbing problems. Whether youโ€™re experiencing backups, buying a new home, or just want peace of mind, our sewer inspection camera technology gives you a clear view of your underground plumbingโ€”without the mess.


Why You Might Need a Sewer Inspection

A sewer inspection is one of the most importantโ€”and overlookedโ€”services a homeowner can schedule. Sewer lines are buried underground, so when something goes wrong, the symptoms often show up too late.

Using a high-resolution sewer inspection camera, or sewer scope, we can:

  • Locate cracks, blockages, or root intrusion
  • Identify collapsed or deteriorated sections of pipe
  • Confirm the sewer line has the proper slope for drainage
  • Pinpoint the exact location of any damage

If youโ€™re searching for sewer inspection near me, weโ€™re proud to provide accurate, affordable, and non-invasive diagnostics for homes across the North Atlanta area.


Sewer Inspection Camera Technology: How It Works

Our sewer inspection camera system gives us a live video feed of your homeโ€™s main drain line. Hereโ€™s how it works:

  • We access the line through a cleanout or by removing a toilet.
  • A waterproof camera is threaded through the pipe and connected to a monitor.
  • The technician watches for structural issues, buildup, or anything out of the ordinary.
  • A locator above ground helps us mark the exact position and depth of any problem areas.

This modern, no-dig method allows us to assess your sewer system with minimal disruptionโ€”and maximum accuracy.


Preventative Maintenance with Sewer Inspections

Even if youโ€™re not having a plumbing emergency, a sewer inspection can help you stay ahead of costly problems.

Older homes, especially those with cast iron or clay pipes, are more prone to deterioration, root infiltration, and improper slope. Routine inspections help identify early warning signs before they lead to backups, structural damage, or expensive sewer line replacements.

At Aaron Plumbing, we recommend scheduling an inspection every 2โ€“3 years for homes over 20 years old, or sooner if youโ€™ve had recurring drain issues.


Do You Need a Sewer Inspection When Buying a House?

Yesโ€”especially if youโ€™re buying an older home, a fixer-upper, or even a newer property where plumbing wasnโ€™t properly installed.

Most general home inspectors donโ€™t video the sewer line. And yet, weโ€™ve seen buyers move into beautiful homes only to find out they need to replace a sewer lineโ€”an expense that can be very costly.

A sewer inspection camera can reveal:

  • Bellies (sagging sections that trap waste)
  • Tree root intrusion
  • Cracks or pipe corrosion
  • Improper slope or incomplete drainage
  • Materials prone to failure, like cast iron or terra cotta

If issues are found, the inspection report can be used to renegotiate the sale price or request that the seller make repairs before closing. Either way, itโ€™s one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.


What If Thereโ€™s a Problem?

If your inspection reveals an issue, weโ€™ll walk you through itโ€”no pressure, no scare tactics. Youโ€™ll get:

  • A detailed explanation and footage of what we saw
  • An exact location of the problem
  • A written estimate for repairs
  • Honest advice on whatโ€™s urgent and what can wait

We also offer follow-up inspections after repairs are complete to confirm the problem is resolved. Depending on whatโ€™s found, we can resolve your issue with a spot repair, pipe relining, or full sewer line replacement.


How Much Does a Sewer Inspection Cost?

The cost of a sewer inspection can vary based on access points and the number of lines being inspected. In general, you can expect pricing between $150 and $350.

Some factors that affect cost include:

  • Whether thereโ€™s a cleanout or if a toilet must be removed
  • How many lines need to be scoped
  • Whether youโ€™re bundling it with another plumbing service

Weโ€™re happy to apply part of your inspection cost to any necessary repairs. And for multi-unit or townhome communities, we offer bundled pricing.


Why Choose Aaron Plumbing?

  • Family-owned and trusted since 1978
  • Fully licensed and insured technicians
  • Up-to-date training and advanced inspection equipment
  • Honest pricing and clear communication
  • 24/7 emergency availability for backups and urgent sewer issues

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a sewer scope inspection?
