Sewer camera inspection in Detroit — HD scope, sonde locator, written report
Buying a Detroit home? Listing one? Pre-existing sewer problem? A sewer camera inspection is the difference between a $295 cleaning and a $9,500 surprise after closing. We push 150 ft of HD camera through your line, mark above-ground locations with a sonde locator, and email the full video before we leave the property.
The live feed during a Detroit sewer scope
You watch the screen with us. Every finding gets called out in real time, with footage timestamped for the written report.
Root intrusion
Fine roots through joint seam. Most common Detroit finding under mature trees.
Hairline crack
Often along the crown. Pre-failure indicator for clay pipe in older homes.
Bellied section
Pipe dropped under settled soil. Water and debris pool. Cabling won't solve.
Cast-iron scale
Internal rust narrows pipe diameter. Visible as ridge texture on the wall.
When a Detroit sewer camera scope earns its money back
The $195 inspection is small money compared to discovering a $9,500 sewer replacement after closing — or losing the listing because the buyer's inspector found something we could have shown you first.
Buying a Detroit home
Pre-purchase scope finds expensive sewer issues that home inspectors don't camera. Negotiation leverage if found.
Listing a home
Document a clean sewer before listing. Removes the buyer's camera demand. Speeds up close.
Mature trees
Oak, maple, silver maple within 30 ft of the line. Root tap risk every season. Annual scope catches early.
Recurring backups
Same drain backs up every few months. Camera finds the structural reason cabling can't fix.
Pre-renovation
Finishing the basement? Adding a bathroom? Know the sewer condition before drywall covers the cleanout.
