Sewer Scope Inspections
in Milwaukee
A sewer scope inspection gives you a clear look inside your sewer and drain lines. Roto-Rooter feeds a waterproof camera through the line to check for tree roots, cracks, collapsed sections, buildup, bellied pipe, leaks and other issues causing backups or slow drainage. Our inspection helps locate the problem, explain what is happening underground and identify the next step. Depending on what we find, your service path may include sewer jetting, sewer line locating, drain cleaning, pipe repair or sewer line repair.
Who Needs a Sewer Camera Inspection?
Sewer camera inspections are helpful for more than home buyers. Schedule a sewer scope inspection if you are:
- A homeowner dealing with recurring backups, slow drains or sewer odors
- A property owner with older clay, Orangeburg, cast iron or aging sewer pipes
- A homeowner with large trees near the sewer line
- A landlord or property manager trying to diagnose repeat tenant drain issues
- A real estate investor or flipper evaluating repair risk before renovations
- A home seller wanting to find sewer issues before listing
- A home buyer reviewing an older property before closing.
Signs of a Blocked or Clogged Sewer Line
- Slow-draining toilets, basins, baths or tubs: Multiple slow drains may point to a blockage deeper in the sewer line.
- Toilets filling higher than usual or overflowing: Sewer restrictions can push wastewater back into fixtures.
- Overflowing sewer access points or manholes: Sewage coming from access points can signal a serious blockage or backup.
- Gurgling noises in sanitary drains: Trapped air may move through the line when wastewater cannot drain properly.
- Overflowing gully traps or relief gullies: Yard-level overflow can point to a sewer line issue requiring prompt service.
Sewer Camera Inspections for Home Buyers
Most home buyers know the importance of inspecting a house’s sewer and drain system. If pipes are cracked, rusty, clogged or damaged, repairs should be addressed before closing. Homes 20 years old or older may have faulty sewer lines, root intrusion or pipe materials prone to costly problems.
When buying a home, schedule a sewer camera inspection from Roto-Rooter’s drain cleaning experts to check the sewer line for cracks, tree roots, collapsed pipe sections and other hidden problems. If issues are found, you may be able to negotiate repairs with the seller before closing. Having Milwaukee drain and sewer experts inspect the line before purchase can help you avoid thousands of dollars in unexpected sewer repairs. Home sellers can also benefit from a sewer scope inspection before listing. Finding issues early helps prevent surprises during the buyer’s due diligence period and gives you time to plan repairs before negotiations begin.

How Do Sewer Camera Inspections Work?
Roto-Rooter inserts a flexible, waterproof camera into your sewer or drain line through an accessible opening. As the camera moves through the pipe, our technicians view the inside of the line in real time. The inspection can show what is blocking the line, where damage appears and how severe the issue may be. You may see tree roots, grease buildup, broken pipe sections, sagging areas, corrosion, offset joints or other problems affecting drainage.
After the inspection, Roto-Rooter explains what was found in plain language. You get a clearer understanding of the issue, where it is located and what service makes sense next, such as sewer jetting, sewer line locating, drain cleaning, sewer line repair or pipe repair.
Get Answers Before Sewer Problems Get Worse
A sewer camera inspection helps you make an informed decision before paying for unnecessary digging, repeated drain clearing or major repairs. Whether you are buying a home, selling a property or trying to stop recurring sewer backups, Roto-Rooter can inspect the line and recommend the right next step.

Excellent service all around. From quick response to my email request to the time they were able to stop by and check out the job I needed done. Tech doing the work, Tony, was fantastic. I was really interested in the process and he was ok with me watching and asking questions while he worked. Best interaction I've had with a professional helping on an issue I was having in my house. Also gave me advice on how to mitigate possible future issues. Very impressed.

I had a clogged main line that can only be accessed from my crawl space and he and his partner not only cleared the line, but fixed 2 clean out covers, one of which I didn't know had rotted away to nothing. My house is not only reclaimed but made significantly better. I am a very happy customer and these guys are a credit to your company.</span></p>
