Question 1

Should I get a sewer scope on an older home in Indianapolis?

Accepted Answer

Yes—especially in Central Indiana, where many older homes still have clay tile or cast iron lines that deteriorate over decades. A $159 scope shows you the exact condition before you're responsible for it.

Question 2

How long does a sewer scope inspection take?

Accepted Answer

Most inspections take 30-60 minutes on-site. Your HD video and written report arrive within one business day, with same-day delivery available if you are on a deadline.

Question 3

What does a sewer camera inspection show?

Accepted Answer

The camera shows the inside of your sewer line in HD: roots, cracks, bellies, offsets, corrosion, and blockages, with footage-counter readings so you know exactly where each issue sits. You see the same video we do—no interpretations you cannot verify.

Question 4

How much does a sewer scope inspection cost in Indiana?

Accepted Answer

Our standard inspection is $159 with cleanout access, including HD video and a written report within one business day. Alternate access methods cost a bit more (roof vent +$50, toilet pull +$65, crawl space +$30), and we confirm all pricing before work begins.

Question 5

How to tell if a sewer line has tree roots?

Accepted Answer

Recurring slow drains, gurgling, and backups that return after clearing are the usual signs—especially in yards with mature trees. Only a camera shows roots for certain: they appear as fibrous masses intruding at the joints of the line.

Question 6

Does a standard home inspection cover the sewer line?

Accepted Answer

No—general home inspectors do not scope sewer lines; the underground lateral is outside their standard scope. That is exactly why a dedicated sewer scope matters: it is the one major system a standard inspection never sees.

Question 7

How much does a sewer scope cost in Indiana?

Accepted Answer

Our standard sewer scope inspection is $159 with cleanout access, which includes HD video recording and a written report delivered within one business day. Additional fees may apply for alternative access methods: +$50 for roof vent access, +$65 for toilet pull (includes new wax ring and supply line), +$30 for crawl space access. We believe in transparent, upfront pricing—no hidden fees.

Question 8

What if access requires a toilet pull?

Accepted Answer

Toilet pull access is $65 additional. This includes removing and reinstalling the toilet with a brand new wax ring and supply line. We always replace the supply line because reusing old supply lines is the number one cause of post-inspection leaks. We'll confirm the access method and pricing before beginning work.

Question 9

What happens if no one is home or access isn't available?

Accepted Answer

A $79 trip fee may be charged on a case-by-case basis. This typically applies when access to the sewer system is unavailable, incorrect information was provided about the property, or no one is home at the scheduled time. To avoid this fee, please ensure someone is available and verify access to the clean-out before your appointment.

Question 10

What about multiple cleanouts on a property?

Accepted Answer

If additional cleanouts need to be inspected on the same visit, the first cleanout is $159 and each additional cleanout is $129. This allows us to provide comprehensive coverage of larger or more complex sewer systems at a reduced rate.

Question 11

Do you offer bulk pricing for investors or brokerages?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We offer prepaid volume packages designed for real estate professionals and investors. Our 10-scope bundles and 25-scope brokerage packages include per-scope discounts and priority scheduling. Contact us for custom volume pricing.

Question 12

How do volume packages work?

Accepted Answer

Volume packages are prepaid bundles purchased upfront at a discounted per-scope rate. You receive priority scheduling and dedicated support. Packages can be used across multiple properties. The more you purchase, the greater your savings.

Question 13

How long does an inspection take?

Accepted Answer

Most inspections are completed in 30-60 minutes on-site. You'll receive your video and premium written report within one business day, or same-day for an additional fee if you're under a tight deadline.

Question 14

What equipment do you use?

Accepted Answer

We run three professional camera scope systems, matched to the job. Our high-end system carries an electronic locator and sonde transmitter — that lets us pinpoint the camera's exact underground location and depth from the surface. Every system records high-definition video for your report.

Question 15

Do you offer hydro jetting?

Accepted Answer

Yes — as preparation for a proper inspection. Roots, grease, and scale can stop the camera before it reaches the real problem, so when a line needs it, we jet it first. That way your scope covers the whole pipe, not just the first few feet. Jetting is priced with your inspection.

Question 16

What areas do you serve?

Accepted Answer

We serve all of Central Indiana, including Indianapolis, Carmel, Fishers, Noblesville, Westfield, Zionsville, Brownsburg, Avon, Plainfield, Greenwood, Franklin, Greenfield, and surrounding areas. If you're not sure if we serve your area, just ask!

Question 17

Do you provide repair services?

Accepted Answer

No sewer repairs, and that's intentional. We are strictly an inspection company. Because we sell no repairs on anything we inspect, we have no incentive to exaggerate problems or recommend unnecessary work. You get an honest, unbiased assessment every time.

Question 18

How do I prepare for the inspection?

Accepted Answer

Please confirm access to your clean-out before your appointment. If we're accessing via an outdoor cleanout, make sure we can reach it. If we need to access via toilet or roof vent, we'll coordinate with you ahead of time. Remember, a $79 trip fee applies if access cannot be provided as confirmed.

Question 19

Can I watch the inspection?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! We love when customers watch. It helps you understand exactly what we're looking at and lets you ask questions in real-time. That said, it's not required—you'll get the full video regardless.

Question 20

What's included in the written report?

Accepted Answer

Your premium report includes a summary of findings, condition ratings for different sections of the line, photos from the video, documentation of any issues found, and an overall assessment. Everything is explained with no jargon. Our reports are designed for transparency and quality.

Question 21

How do I get my video and report?

Accepted Answer

Your HD video link and PDF report are emailed to you within one business day of the inspection. You can share them with anyone—contractors, real estate agents, etc.

Question 22

What about multi-unit or commercial properties?

Accepted Answer

We offer discounted rates for multi-family properties: $159 for the first unit and $129 for each additional unit when using the same access point. For commercial properties and high-volume needs, contact us for custom pricing.

Question 23

Do you offer any discounts or packages?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We offer prepaid volume packages for real estate professionals and investors. Our 10-scope bundles and 25-scope brokerage packages include per-scope discounts and priority scheduling.
