This is a sewer scope on a new build. My Dads actually, lucky for him he knows a home inspector. This spike/nail was about 60 feet down the line. You can see it already holding debris on a new build that hasn’t been lived in. This will cause major problems. It was in the street and will cost some big bucks to fix. People always ask me if they should get a sewer scope on a new builds, the answer is YES!

Did a sewer scope on a new build and look at what was in the line just after the new line. Looks like construction debris. I recommend getting sewer scopes done on new builds for this very reason.

Other common issues we see doing sewer scopes are roots in the line causing backups. Pipes that are disconnected at the joints, called an offset. Bellies which are areas that are lower than the main line. They usually are holding water and debris. Many other defects can be found and its generally a costly fix.
