Observed obstructions
Document visible buildup, roots, debris, or other apparent restrictions where the camera can travel.
Why scope the line
Buried components deserve separate attention.
Observed pipe condition
Note visible offsets, damage, deterioration, standing water, or material transitions.
Practical next steps
Identify when cleaning, location work, further access, or licensed plumbing evaluation may be warranted.
Access and limits
The camera can only report what it can see and reach.
Service depends on a suitable accessible cleanout or approved entry point, line condition, camera travel, and site circumstances. The agreed scope should identify which line is being inspected and the intended endpoint.
Important limitation: A sewer scope is a visual camera inspection, not a guarantee of future performance or a complete plumbing-system evaluation. Access restrictions, water, debris, bends, branches, line size, or obstructions can limit the inspection. UTCS will not remove plumbing fixtures or perform destructive access unless separately agreed and appropriately authorized. Repairs and plumbing diagnoses should be verified by a qualified licensed plumbing contractor.
Process
Simple, documented, and scope-specific
1
Confirm access
Share the property details and known cleanout location, if available.
2
Run the camera
Inspect the accessible line while recording observable conditions and limitations.
3
Review observations
Receive findings and recommendations for any appropriate specialist follow-up.
Add a sewer scope to the property due diligence.
Send the address, transaction deadline if applicable, and any known drain or cleanout information.
