Sewer Scope Inspections in Phoenix & Arizona
A standard home inspection can’t see inside underground sewer piping. Our HD camera inspection can, finding roots, cracks and blockages before they become a backup or a five-figure repair.
Quick answer: A sewer scope inspection sends an HD camera through the home’s main sewer line to find root intrusion, cracks, offsets, bellies, blockages and deterioration. Patterson 360 charges $199 with a home inspection, $139 with new construction and $249 à la carte; it’s included in Premier 360 and Luxury 360.

Common Problems We Find
Root Intrusion

Bellies & Offsets
Sagging sections and shifted joints trap waste and cause recurring clogs.
Construction Debris
New lines can hold concrete, gravel or debris left behind during the build.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a sewer scope inspection?
A sewer scope inspection uses a high-definition camera inserted through an accessible cleanout to view the inside of the main sewer line toward the municipal connection or septic system. It identifies root intrusion, cracks, offsets, blockages and deterioration that a standard home inspection cannot see.
How much does a sewer scope cost in Phoenix?
A Patterson 360 sewer scope is $199 when added to a residential home inspection, $139 with any new construction phase, and $249 when ordered on its own. It is included in Premier 360 and Luxury 360.
Do new construction homes need a sewer scope?
It is a smart add-on. Even brand-new sewer lines can contain construction debris, low spots (bellies), improper slope, damaged pipe or poor connections. Scheduling it with your Phase 2 pre-close inspection gives the builder time to correct issues.
Which homes should get a sewer scope?
We especially recommend it for homes over 20 years old, properties with large or mature trees, homes with cast iron, clay, Orangeburg or older piping, rental and investment properties, and any buyer seeking maximum due diligence.
Do I get video of the sewer line?
Yes. Significant findings are documented on video, with clear recommendations for repair, maintenance or further evaluation when needed.
