The main sewer line is the one part of a home nobody ever sees — until it fails. A camera down the line shows you exactly what's happening underground before you buy.
The main sewer line runs from the home out to the street or septic system, buried and out of sight. When it has a problem, the repair bill can climb into the thousands of dollars — and it almost always shows up after closing, when it's your problem to solve.
A sewer scope puts a camera right through the main line so we can see cracks, blockages, root intrusion, low spots that hold water (bellies), and collapses. It's the kind of hidden issue that never turns up on a standard walkthrough.
Highland Property Services runs the camera and shows you what's down there in plain terms. It's especially valuable before you buy — far better to get it on your radar now than to discover it the hard way later.
Here's what a sewer scope protects you from.
Cracks, bellies, and collapses stay invisible until you scope the line — or until they fail.
Sewer repairs run into the thousands. Finding trouble before you buy changes the whole picture.
Tree roots work their way into old lines. The camera shows exactly where and how bad.
We show you the footage and explain what it means, so nothing is left to imagination.
A failing sewer line is one of the most expensive surprises a new homeowner can face, and it's completely hidden from a normal inspection. By the time symptoms reach the house — slow drains, backups, odors — the damage is often well underway.
Running a camera down the main line takes the mystery out of it. We can see whether the line is clear and sound or whether cracks, roots, bellies, or a collapse are waiting to become your problem.
This is exactly the kind of thing to get on your radar before you buy. We inspect and document what the camera finds — we don't dig or repair — so you head into closing knowing precisely what you're taking on.
The camera looks for the problems that cost the most to fix.
Because the main line is buried and expensive to repair. A scope shows you cracks, roots, blockages, and bellies before you buy, so a costly surprise doesn't land on you after closing.
We run a small camera through the main sewer line and watch the footage in real time. It lets us see the actual condition of the pipe underground, which no walkthrough can reveal.
No — we inspect and document what the camera finds. Highland Property Services doesn't dig or repair. You'll have clear footage and findings to plan your next step.
Often, yes. Even newer lines can have issues from installation or shifting soil, and older homes are prime candidates for root intrusion. We help you decide whether it fits the property.
A belly is a low spot where the line sags and holds water instead of draining freely. It leads to buildup and backups over time, and the camera shows us exactly where they are.
