Trenchless equipment is easy to buy. A trailer and a liner kit do not make someone a sewer contractor. If you have been told the whole line has to be replaced, or handed a price that does not add up, bring us the written estimate and the video. The site visit is free. We will tell you plainly what we see, including when the answer is that you do not need the work.

• More than 12,000 service visits on record since 2020.

• You get a camera video of the finished line, yours to keep.
• Everything in writing. We beat any written estimate.

What to Ask Any Trenchless Contractor

1. How long have you done trenchless work, and is it your main trade?
2. Is a licensed master plumber on the job?
3. Do you own the equipment, and what pipe sizes can you line?
4. Will I get video before and after?
5. Who makes the liner, and what does the written warranty say?

Sewer Scope in Media, PA

A sewer scope — also called a sewer camera inspection or pre-purchase sewer inspection — is a camera run through the full sewer lateral from the cleanout to the municipal main. The camera records pipe material, condition, any root intrusion, offset joints, bellied sections, and the state of the connection to the street main in the alley or at the curb. The inspection produces a video record you receive and keep.

Sewer scopes are most frequently requested in Media for real estate transactions. Media Borough has one of the older housing stocks in Delaware County — a significant portion of the borough’s homes were built in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with clay tile or cast iron sewer laterals that have been in the ground for 80 to 120 years. A pre-purchase scope tells a buyer exactly what condition the lateral is in before closing, and gives a seller documentation of a pipe that has been inspected and confirmed serviceable.

The sewer scope is also appropriate for homeowners in established properties who have had a recurring drain backup or slow drain and want to know what is happening in the line before calling a plumber. The camera shows the actual defect — root intrusion at a clay tile joint, a partially collapsed cast iron section, debris accumulation at a belly — rather than leaving the diagnosis to guesswork at the cleanout opening.

What a Media Sewer Scope Typically Finds

In Media Borough specifically, the most common findings are:

• Root intrusion at clay tile joints — clay tile laterals from the early 20th century have individual tile sections joined with mortar. As the mortar deteriorates, root systems from street trees and yard plantings enter at the joints. The root mass grows progressively until flow is restricted or completely blocked.
• Cast iron corrosion — in properties with cast iron laterals, interior corrosion builds over decades. The corroded surface creates turbulence that encourages buildup and eventually reduces the effective diameter of the pipe.
• Shared party laterals — Media has a concentration of twins (semi-detached homes) and older multi-unit buildings where two properties share a single lateral to the street main. A scope before purchase documents whether the shared portion is in serviceable condition and who is responsible for maintaining it.

If the scope shows a defect, you receive the camera video documenting the location and severity. We can give you a repair estimate on the same visit. The camera inspection fee is credited toward any repair we perform.
