Sewer scope and sewage system inspection service in Omaha

How a sewer scope works

A waterproof camera with LED lights rides on a flexible cable down the drain and through the sewer line. The plumber watches a live picture on a monitor and can tell how far down the line each problem is, so any repair goes in the right spot.

Why a sewer system inspection matters

Guessing at a sewer problem is expensive. A camera shows whether a slow line needs a cleaning, a spot repair or replacement, and it shows you, too.

Precision diagnostics: what the camera finds

Tree root intrusion, cracked and broken pipe, corrosion in cast iron, offset joints, sags (bellies) that hold water, grease buildup and objects stuck in the line. Then the plumber explains the options, from cleaning to sewer line repair.

Buying a home?

A pre-purchase sewer scope inspection is one of the best checks a buyer can get. Homebuyers in Omaha often ask for one so they do not inherit a costly repair. See real estate inspections.

Commercial pipe scope inspections

Restaurants, offices, retail spaces, apartment buildings, industrial plants and other commercial properties have longer and busier lines, and a backup there can close the doors for a day. A plumbing camera inspection finds grease buildup, roots, breaks and offsets in the main and branch lines, and shows how far each problem is from the cleanout, so the fix is planned around your hours.

Property managers use a pipe scope before buying or leasing a building, after repeat backups, and before a remodel or tenant build-out ties new fixtures into an old line. More on commercial plumbing.
