Unbiased Sewer Inspections & Second Opinions
Certified, Independent Sewer Scope Inspections for Denver, Boulder, Lakewood, Aurora, Arvada & the Colorado Front Range
Why “Unbiased” Matters for Sewer Scopes
Many sewer scope providers also sell repairs—creating a conflict of interest. Safe Investment Home Inspections provides independent, no-upsell sewer inspections and second opinions so you can make confident decisions. We do not perform sewer repairs. Our only job is to evaluate and document the true condition of your line with high-resolution video, still images, exact footage markers, and clear recommendations.
- Second Opinions: Verify previous findings before you pay for costly excavation or lining.
- Pre-Purchase Due Diligence: Know the real condition of the sewer before you close.
- Post-Repair Verification: Confirm repairs were done correctly and to the proper footage.
- Annual/Seasonal Checks: Monitor root intrusion and bellies that can worsen over time.
What We Inspect & Document
- Line Material & Transitions: Cast iron, clay (VCP), PVC/ABS, Orangeburg, SDR, and transition points.
- Roots, Offsets & Cracks: Identify intrusions, separations, fractures, missing segments, and displaced joints.
- Bellies & Standing Water: Locate sags/low points with footage and depth context where available.
- Slope Concerns & Flow: Visual confirmation of flow direction, debris movement, and obstructions.
- Cleanouts & Access: Interior and exterior cleanouts, roof vents, and toilet pull options (with consent).
- Distance & Landmarks: Footage overlay + surface landmark notes for precise excavation if needed.
Deliverables: HD video file link, annotated still photos, findings summary, severity ratings, and practical next steps (maintenance vs. spot repair vs. full replacement recommendations to discuss with a qualified contractor).
When to Get a Second Opinion Sewer Inspection
- Another company recommended a full line replacement or trenchless lining without clear video evidence.
- You received a report citing “belly” or “offset” but the footage is unclear or missing distances.
- Conflicting estimates for the same issue or repairs that don’t match the video location/footage.
- You want to confirm repair quality before final payment or closing.
