The Scope and Purpose of a Sewer Scope
Video pipeline inspections are performed using specific camera equipment designed to evaluate the condition of below-ground piping systems. These inspections are designed to evaluate the condition of subsurface pipes and identify any areas in need of maintenance or repair or any materials that are deficient or sub-standard. The scope of this report is only what is shown here and includes only the parts of the pipe that were accessible to camera inspection.
How to Read This Report
Getting the Information to You
The best way to get the information that is presented in this report is to read your report online (the HTML version), which will allow you to stream the pipeline video as well as read narrative comments and see any still photos that have been presented as part of this inspection.
For the most reliable viewing experience, I recommend viewing the report on as large a screen as practical, as much detail can be lost on small devices like smartphones. For similar reasons, reports should only be printed in color to retain as much detail as possible and minimize misinterpretation of photographs.
This report can also be printed on paper or to a PDF document
Observation Labels
All narrative observations are colored, numbered and labeled to help you find, refer to, and understand the severity of the observation. Observation colors and labels used in this report are:
- DESCRIPTION:Detailed description of various aspects of the property noted during the inspection.
Summary
Conditions
- SIR-1 Sewer Inspection Report:
Minor root growth was observed at 56'. As roots continue to grow, this can cause a blockage or damage to the pipe. Annual maintenance cleaning of the sewer line can prevent the buildup of roots or a blockage
in the line. We recommend consulting with a qualified plumber for a maintenance plan.
- SIR-2 Sewer Inspection Report:
A belly was noted in the line at 42'- 44' and 46'- 56'. A belly occurs when settling or compaction of the soil occurs below the pipe and causes the pipe to have a low spot where water can collect. Due to the condition of the belly, the camera went under water , and the sewer line was not visible during that length.

Due to the condition of the belly, the camera went under water , and the sewer line was not visible during that length.
At 100', the camera has traveled past the property line. The sewer line does not show any significant obstruction at the time of inspection. It is recommended to have sewer line inspected every year to make sure it stays in good condition.
