A professional sewer scope inspection from House Doctor Home Inspection is the only way to truly reveal the condition of your home’s underground sewer line in Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Connecticut. This essential camera service can uncover costly problems, like tree root intrusion, cracks, or blockages, before they become emergencies, giving you peace of mind whether you are buying, selling, or maintaining your property.
About This service

The sewer line is one of the most critical but least visible systems in your home. Over time, it can become damaged by tree roots, shifting soil, corrosion, or clogs. These issues may not show symptoms right away, but if left unchecked, they can lead to sewage backups, slow drains, and costly, unexpected repairs. Our specialized sewer scope inspection uses a camera to examine the inside of the main sewer line, identifying concerns that are not visible during a standard home inspection.
We provide clarity by breaking down every step of our camera inspection service:
High-Resolution Camera Insertion: We insert a high-resolution camera into the sewer cleanout or other designated access point.
Guided Line Examination: We carefully guide the camera through the main line, looking for signs of cracks, blockages, collapsed sections, root intrusion, and buildup.
Digital Report & Footage: We record the full video footage and provide you with a comprehensive digital report that includes the video file and clear explanations of our findings.
Professional Guidance: We provide professional guidance on the next steps and necessary repairs if any problems are detected within the line.
This service is especially important for several high-risk scenarios: older homes, properties with large trees nearby, or homes where the condition of the sewer system is unknown. If you are purchasing a home, a sewer scope inspection can help you avoid unexpected repairs and gain full awareness of what lies underground. Our goal is to give you the confidence to make informed decisions and protect your property from surprise issues down the line.

We had House Doctor come out for a commercial inspection and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. The inspectors were incredibly thorough, taking the time to go through every system in the buildings — roof, electrical, plumbing, HVAC — and explaining what they found in plain language instead of just handing us a report full of jargon. They walked us through each issue on-site, answered every question patiently, and never made us feel rushed even though the inspection ran long. On top of the quality of the inspection itself, communication was prompt and professional at every step — scheduling was easy, and follow-up questions after the fact were answered quickly. If you're looking for an inspector who's meticulous, honest, and genuinely good at explaining things, House Doctor is the one to call.Posted on Google![]()

I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with House Doctor Home Inspections. From the moment I scheduled the inspection, everyone was professional, responsive, and incredibly helpful. The inspection itself was extremely thorough, and I truly appreciated the time they took to walk me through everything and answer all my questions. They explained things in a way that was easy to understand and never made me feel rushed or overwhelmed. Buying a home can be stressful, but having someone knowledgeable and trustworthy in my corner made such a difference. I left the inspection feeling informed and confident about my purchase. I would absolutely recommend this company to anyone looking for a thorough, honest, and professional home inspection. Five stars all the way!Posted on Google![]()

Connor from House Doctor arrived early, was very friendly, and extremely knowledgable. He performed the inspection with professionalism and respect, told us what would need to be taken care of, and the report was excellent and very detailed. I would recommend House Doctor to anyone looking for a home inspection in RI.
