Sewer Scoping Inspections in Northwest Indiana

Get a Clear View of Your Home’s Sewer Lines

A home’s sewer line is one of the most important—and expensive—parts of the property. Unfortunately, problems with underground pipes often go undetected until backups or costly repairs occur. Sewer scoping inspections provide a clear, camera-based look inside your home’s sewer system, revealing hidden issues before they become emergencies.

At Armor Inspection Services, we offer professional sewer scoping inspections across Winfield, Crown Point, Valparaiso, Merrillville, Schererville, Hobart, St. John, and the greater Northwest Indiana area.


Why Sewer Scoping Is Important

Traditional home inspections do not cover underground sewer lines. Without a sewer scope, you may be unaware of serious problems that could cost thousands of dollars to repair.

A sewer scoping inspection can reveal:

  • Cracked or collapsed pipes

  • Root intrusion from nearby trees

  • Grease buildup and blockages

  • Corrosion in older pipes

  • Signs of leaks or water infiltration

Catching these issues early can save you money and stress, especially if you’re buying or selling a home.


Our Sewer Scoping Process

  1. Camera Insertion: We feed a specialized high-resolution camera into the sewer line through an access point.

  2. Live Video Inspection: The camera records the condition of the line, identifying cracks, roots, and obstructions.

  3. Documentation: You’ll receive a copy of the video footage along with a detailed written report.

  4. Recommendations: If issues are found, we provide guidance on the next steps for repair or replacement.

This non-invasive process gives you an inside look at your home’s sewer system without the need for digging or costly exploratory work.


Who Should Schedule a Sewer Scope?

  • Home Buyers: Ensure you’re not inheriting costly sewer line problems.

  • Homeowners: Prevent backups and plan repairs before emergencies occur.

  • Older Homes: Properties with clay, cast iron, or Orangeburg pipes are at higher risk.

  • Homes with Large Trees: Roots often infiltrate sewer lines, causing blockages.
