There are a number of thoughts, emotions, and words that run through your mind when you notice water backing up through the drain when you’re in the middle of a shower. First, there’s the inconvenience of having to cut your shower short, followed by how you’re going to address the problem.
Not having to deal with wastewater is one of the joys of indoor plumbing after all. And if your shower or bathtub, kitchen, laundry room, or any other drain in your home stops has a blockage somewhere along the line, it could mean you may not be able to run the water until the clog is removed.
If the clog is in the fixture drain, that’s a relatively easy fix. But if your issues are further down the line, it pays to know exactly what you’re dealing with. With our sewer scope inspection services in Camas and Vancouver, WA, you can look through the sewer pipe from the house to the sewer system or septic tank in older homes.
Also known as a pipeline video inspection system or a sewer lateral inspection, a sewer scope allows Simpson Plumbing to quickly take a look at your sewer lines. This is an easy way to find out if you’re looking at an easy fix or something that could potentially cost you thousands of dollars.
The camera can show if you have cracks, damage caused by large tree roots, big clogs, and if you need other sewer line repairs. Our sewer scope inspection in the Vancouver and Camas, WA, can also discover if you have a leak along the home sewer line. Notice large, lush patches of grass in the summer? You could have damaged sewer lines that need repair.
A sewer scope is one more way for Simpson Plumbing to offer expanded services to our clients. With our Sewer Video Inspections service, Simpson Plumbing can help homeowners with oversight of a property’s maintenance needs.

A sewer scope inspection uses a small video camera to examine the inside of your home’s sewer line. It allows you to see the condition of the pipe and identify blockages, cracks, root intrusion, or leaks that could affect your plumbing system.
You should consider this inspection if you notice repeated drain backups, slow drainage throughout your home, or foul odors near drains. Homebuyers often request a sewer scope before purchasing older homes to avoid unexpected repair costs.
A sewer scope can detect root intrusion, broken or collapsed pipes, buildup of debris, corrosion, misaligned joints, and leaks. Early detection helps prevent costly emergency repairs.
While newer homes are less likely to have serious issues, it’s still possible for construction debris, poor installation, or shifting soil to cause problems. An inspection provides peace of mind, especially during the home buying process.
Costs vary depending on location and property size, but a sewer scope is generally affordable compared to the expense of major sewer line repairs. It is often considered a worthwhile investment during a property inspection.
