This covers the sewer line replacement itself — not what gets torn up to reach it. If there’s a driveway, landscaping, or deck above the line, it has to come apart to get access. Putting it back is on you. That alone can easily double the number.
As a homeowner, you are responsible for the complete drain line from beneath your foundation to the municipal connection at your property line. We travel the full line: through the plumbing stack, under the slab, outside the foundation wall, beneath your yard and driveway, and to the city connection — extending past the property line to the city drop. You receive a complete video of the full line for your records and a written report documenting every finding. 15–20 minutes.
Most homes are fine. When there are issues, this is what the camera actually finds:
2025 build — 25-foot section fully submerged underwater. Full line replacement — homeowners paid nothing, warranty covered it all. We would have never found it without the scope. Ran water for two hours — no indication.
Under the Alberta New Home Buyer Protection Act, sewer defects are covered under the Year-Two delivery and distribution systems warranty — that window closes at 24 months. After that date, any defect is your financial responsibility — no matter when the problem started. A scope at your 11-month inspection documents existing defects while you’re still inside that window.
If everything looks good, you get peace of mind knowing your sewer line is in great shape. If we do find something, it gives you leverage for negotiation — or at the very least, a clear understanding of what you’re walking into. No surprises down the road.

These homes typically use PVC piping, but even newer materials can come with risks — especially when installation wasn’t ideal.
2015 home — 20-foot belly holding standing water. Buyer took the scope video to the table, deal renegotiated — line fully replaced before possession.
What the camera finds in PVC-era homes:
If everything looks good, you get peace of mind knowing your sewer line is in great shape. If we do find something, it gives you leverage for negotiation — or at the very least, a clear understanding of what you’re walking into. No surprises down the road.

The older the line gets, the more it has against it. This era is a wide mix of materials — clay, cast iron, and early PVC — and the joints where they meet are where the trouble lives.
1986 property — roots through the clay joints in the yard, cast iron scaled nearly shut under the slab. Full line replacement. Buyers walked in with the complete picture.
What the camera finds in mixed-material homes:
If everything looks good, you get peace of mind knowing your sewer line is in great shape. If we do find something, it gives you leverage for negotiation — or at the very least, a clear understanding of what you’re walking into. No surprises down the road.

The highest risk category for sewer line failure — often still on original infrastructure, well past its design life.
1962 home — Orangeburg (no-corrode) fully collapsed. No indication — this is why every home needs to be scoped. The sewer line itself only cost $14,000 — it was all the damage above it that brought the total to $38,000. This price includes the repair of the driveway they dug up and the landscaping.
What the camera finds in pre-1970 homes:
If everything looks good, you get peace of mind knowing your sewer line is in great shape. If we do find something, it gives you leverage for negotiation — or at the very least, a clear understanding of what you’re walking into. No surprises down the road.
