Bought an older house and had them scope the sewer before closing. Found roots in two joints. We used the video to negotiate the repair into the sale. Best money I spent on that purchase.

Sewer Camera Inspection in Newton, Iowa
If you are buying a house in Newton that was built before the 1980s, a sewer scope is the cheapest inspection you will ever pay for. A standard home inspection does not include it, and a failed line under a mature front yard is a five-figure surprise a month after closing.
Call (833) 435-9778 and describe what is happening. We will give you an arrival window before you hang up and a flat price before anyone starts work - the same price at 2am as at 2pm.

Winter splits pipes in the same places every year
The runs that fail in Newton are predictable: supply lines in exterior walls, anything crossing an unheated crawl space, and hose bibs left connected in November. Ice rarely bursts the pipe where it forms - it bursts it downstream where the pressure has nowhere to go, which is why the damage often shows up somewhere that never froze.

Frozen pipe in the crawl space. They thawed it carefully, watched it come back under pressure to check for splits, then insulated the run. Has not happened again.

Old galvanised pipes giving us brown water every morning. They repiped in PEX and explained the trade-offs against copper honestly instead of just pushing one.

Sewer Camera Inspection in Newton: common questions
How much is a sewer camera inspection in Newton?
It is a flat fee for a standard residential run in Newton, quoted when you book. If we have to clear a blockage before the camera can pass, we tell you the added cost before doing it.
Should I get a sewer scope before buying a house?
On any Newton home built before about 1980, we would. Home inspections do not cover the buried line, and it is the single most expensive thing that can be quietly wrong with a house.
Can you tell how deep the problem is?
Yes. The camera head carries a sonde we track from the surface, so we can mark the location and depth of a defect on your lawn with paint before anyone digs.
Do I get a copy of the video?
Always. You get the footage and a written summary, which is exactly what you need for a repair quote, a seller negotiation or an insurance claim.
