A 'Sewer Scope' is a camera that is pushed through the (lateral) drain piping, from the interior stack, to the city sewer main (or private septic tank in the country). It is highly recommended for older (sectioned) cast iron and / or clay tile systems, which most are. Updated PVC stacks (in basement) often transition to cast iron at the basement floor, vs. being PVC all the way out. These older systems can be in perfect condition, and function well, if not with heaving, settling, breakage, or root intrusion anywhere along the pipe. The only way to be sure none of this is happening is by having a Sewer Lateral Scope Inspection performed.
