"We buy and sell numerous homes every month and we have to look for vendors who makes us more efficient.Digital delivery of the sewer line scope to my to desk top is huge advantage! For example: Being able to forward a video of broken sewer line to a bank we are buying home from gives us instant negotiating leverage.It is one thing to send them a written report but when they send a video and they see with their on eyes.It makes all the difference!"

"I received a call from my tenant that the her basement was flooded and of her personal belonging were destroyed.I called the first full service plumbing coming that would get over there as fast as possible: The news was not good: They told me sewer line was beyond repair and that the bill was going to 11,516.00 and that I had no other option but to fix it! It just did not seem right: So I called Certified Sewer Inspection for an unbiased opinion and I am glad I did! It seems someone had thrown debris down the drain they shouldn't have! A simple cleaning and the problem was solved.....My advise: Call someone who not trying to sell you an 11,000 dollar repair job!"

Home Inspectors Testimonials...

"I recommend video sewer scope inspections all the time on any home over 50 years old in one particular area where I know a lot of the waste lines are vitrified clay."
--Robert in Denver

"...lately, the realtors are a step ahead of me. They frequently schedule the video guy at the same time as the home inspection."
--James in Denver

"When I see a home that has old growth trees on the front lawn or tree lawn I always recommend having the sewers scoped. I tell my clients that it's not "if" but "when" the main sewer will back up."
--Gerry of Denver

"This story is unfortunately true. I inspected a condo a few years ago, a 1970’s 2 story on a slab. My client had a ground level unit. Anyway, her unit was fine except it wasn’t. There were tree roots in the sewer in the front yard. One day all the sewage from the units above backed up into her unit through the floor drain in her laundry room. She was livid I did not recommend a TV scope. This occurred almost a year after I did my inspection.The condo association paid to have new carpet and some drywall replaced but she was still unhappy. There is something very disconcerting about having a few inches of poop floating around your home. I told her I wouldn’t dream of recommending a scope when there were no signs of problems. She told me in so many words she was thinking about suing me. I am in an area where sewer back-ups are not common, but they are not uncommon either, so I have stayed away from recommending the scope when I see no apparent reason to do so. But I have changed my mind! Not because of the frequency of this happening but because it is so nasty when it does happen."
--Terry in Denver

"I am not going to go in depth, but I am being sued as we speak. My attorney says I should just settle and split the cost with the Realtor. The buyers are looking to settle for the replacement of the sewer line and flood damages in excess of $30,000. The Realtor and I may be at fault because we did not suggest the sewer line inspection, nor did we inform them that the sewer camera inspections existed. I have a disclaimer about pipes in walls and below ground, but this does not help me because I did not educate the buyer about sewer inspections. Make sure you recommend it on every single job!"
--Michael S. in Denver

"After my 90-year-old sewer collapsed and starting pushing stinkwater up my kitchen sink drain, I started telling all of my customers with cast iron drains to get a scope job. I did it in active voice, and tried hard to make sure nobody could misunderstand me. Like this: "The drains are old. We can't see the parts of pipe that are underground. If the pipes fail, and old pipes often do, sewage could back up into your home. A contractor's scope with a camera of the pipes can tell you if there are problems. If any problems exist, you should get them fixed." Really, what is the downside of warning your customer's about the possibility of getting poopwater in their homes??"
--Donald F. in Denver

"I don't think this advice should be directed only at old houses; new construction has been known to have a "belly" or to be just plain crushed during backfill; I have even seen where the clean out was broken off and the pipe filled with dirt."
- -Lester in Denver

"It's not just back-ups that are a problem. There can be breaks that let rats in, breaks that allow the effluent to erode the ground and cause sink holes, bellies in the line that collect solids and cause slow drains, etc., etc., etc...."
--Casey in Denver

Home Owner Testimonials...

"Our nightmare happened a few months ago after a recent basement bathroom remodel. The first time the new toilet was flushed, the bathroom filled up with two inches water. The next flushing, pumped sewage out of the storm drain and into two other rooms. We had noticed slow drains around the house before, but we foolishly ignored it. After the back-up, we had the video camera inspection and found out that there was a thick, white slurry coating the walls of the pipes. The slurry was so thick, that the drain water only had about a quarter inch opening to pass through. The obstruction continued for about 10 feet, and then the line was clear again, all the way to the alley.

The white slurry turned out to be grease. Plain, old, ordinary kitchen grease.

If we had just had the inspection done when we noticed the slow drains, we could have saved ourselves thousands of dollars in water damage!"
- - Janie M. in Denver

"I was not advised to get a sewer scope when I purchased my home. This was a major mistake. One week after moving into our new home, our basement was flooded with 3 inches of sewage. The cost of having these repairs done $$$$$$$, compared to the cost of having a sewer scope inspection, which will tell you what the condition of the sewer is - when I think about it I feel so foolish!! So let's see, we pay to have the furnace inspected but a new furnace will only be about $2,000. We pay to have the roof inspected but that's probably a $4,000 job. So why don't we always inspect the sewer? One reason is because, let's face it, we all want closings. Some real estate agents probably figure if they keep their mouth shut and don't go out of their way to recommend a sewer scope that's one less chance the deal will fall through. Inexcusable, but all too commonplace. Don't be a chump - get a sewer scope."
